Where The Bosses Play: 6 Instagram Accounts For The Professional Black Woman

Humans are by nature social beings. It doesn't matter if you're a life of the party extrovert or an introvert with an intimate tribe- we all crave human interaction. Since its inception social media has fed that need and with the pandemic currently monopolizing our news cycle- it's safe to say who we let in our Instagram community is going to be more relevant than ever. The emergence of new business is inevitable. Crisis is where the leaders rise and I expect to see more and more Black women rising to the occasion. The kids are home, the Mr. is stressed about hours at work, you're trying to secure some extra income and can't necessarily engage in your weekly girls night. These are accounts will balance you out, give it to you raw, and remind you of how amazing you and your talents are. Best part you can do it braless and with a glass of wine 🍷

1. A Tribe Called Sis

I love that a lot of professional organizations are putting an emphasis on mental and emotional well being. But let's face it Black women have different wounds, speak a totally different language, face different challenges and need different advice in order to overcome those challenges. That's why I love A Tribe Called Sis it is a safe space for Black Women (especially entrepreneurs and other boss ass women). Life advice, love advice, good jokes, and real sh*t- I recommend starting your day here. And doubling back throughout the day as needed. 💎

So to totally toot my own horn🗣 my IG is a shrine to Black Girl Magic. This blog was created for us and our advancement as mothers daughters sister and business women but it is an extension of my media relations firm. I mix real world knowledge and experience with urban images and hip-hop captions. It's definitely the resource I wish I had at the start of my business and I share content from all 6 of the above accounts in my Instagram stories.
