After a decade of involvement in online networking, writing, and marketing, Kristina Brooke Daniele and Renee J Ross began to realize that there was an underrepresentation of people of color in mainstream social media campaigns. Though their own involvement at social media conferences and participation in panels aimed at obtaining feedback from African American mothers, they began to understand that people of color were a powerful market that was being overlooked.
This realization, combined with an absence of social media/marketing companies owned and operated by women of color caused them to pool their years of experience and create the We of Hue Network. Described as a means of connecting businesses and social organizations with a database of intelligent and insightful women of color, We of Hue will also provide a forum for showcasing issues that are important to this demographic group.
Daniele and Ross have recruited a panel of writers from various segments of the parenting community - married, single, stay-at-home and working - to provide unique perspectives about politics, education, images in the media, parenting, and other topics affecting mothers of color. Together, they comprise Moms of Hue, a site dedicated to providing insightful commentary and open dialogue for all mothers.
The site will officially launch on Monday December 7th through a 'Twitter party" that will introduce readers to "We of Hue: Unique Perspectives of Women of Color" and will provide participants with a chance to win a host of giveaways including DVDs, beauty kits, jewelry, books, and much more.
For details about this exciting opportunity visit the Moms of Hue site. Be sure to follow @momsofhue and #momsofhue on Twitter for updates.
You can also listen to Kristina and Renee discuss the project on blogtalkradio at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/show.aspx?userurl=chatterboxradio&year=2009&month=12&day=07&url=the-importance-of-the-voice-of-moms-of-hue
