Power Minority

Thankfully the world is much more accepting of diversity than it was, say even 10 years ago. Still, inequalities and stereotypes follow us minorities every where we go. Every minority has had to fight every step of the way in order to attain some power.

That's what this blog is about. About the plenty of empowered minorities walking the earth, and about how to attain more power in order to move forward.

The blog will feature interviews with empowered individuals, tips, must read books and much more. Stay tuned!

The Naturaliste

As women we get a myriad of messages from as many sources telling us what our beauty should be. I began this blog to celebrate each woman's unique beauty, and to create a community in which we could talk about things as disparate as hair, health, and economics.
