I'm sorry I didn't hire more help to free me to be able to say hello and to even acknowledge everyone at least once. I'm sorry that it wasn't viewed as diverse enough. I reached out to as many bloggers that I could and worked with the sponsors that approached me. I'm not making any excuses. I feel terrible that everyone had such a crappy time and I can man up and take full responsibility for that. <br /><br />The feedback that I've gotten was mostly... like this. So, your points are valid. Please know that it was not deliberate nor am I a "cold" person who sees herself above others. In all actuality, I assume that most people don't know who I am, so I kept my head down and took out trash and worried over slides not getting done and not having enough wine and rain making the vendors move inside and breaking fire code. <br /><br />It's looking likely that I will not be the sole organizer of the TxSC in 2013. It's too much heartache for me for not at all enough money and too much time away from my family. <br /><br />I'd love to talk to someone about taking it over.

People of color are under represented. I even notice it when brands decide to work with bloggers they never choose a diverse group. I applaud you for speaking out.

So I'm not surprised about what you described. <br />I would love to see more diverse collaborations from black stylish bloggers. Like you said, we are here, we shop, we blog, we know fashion. Using the same "one" (we know who I'm talking about) over and over is not being diverse, sorry. I truly think it's sad and it's very apparent in blogland what's going on.

I think that the world of blogging in general and the "TOP" bloggers aren't of mixed races. It would be nice to hear about the experiences of ALL bloggers. I hear ya and its unfortunate that your experience wasn't better. Hopefully your message will be heard and next year will be better.<br /><br />Jen<br />http://blankwhiteframes.blogspot.comJennifer S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01543497487978632368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33497944.post-14049616237083254732012-03-17T14:25:24.466-05:002012-03-17T14:25:24.466-05:00BRAVO!!!
