Congrats to all these hard working bloggers! TheFreshXpress is a new blog (that I’ve written for) but shows what great potential it has with the wins as judges picks. There are so many excellent black blogs that could have been included but there is always next year.

Hey Bella:

You are the best! I voted for you and I’m glad you won. Every time you do something that takes you out of your comfort zone, it forces me to reflect on my life and what I want out of it.

Thank you.
