Posting a black square a few months back, caused a movement in which the social media space was not exempt. Creators and influencers alike were holding the fashion industry and consumers accountable for proper representation of minorities in the industry. Hence the hashtag #diversifyyourfeed emerged, started by stylist Zeena Shah, which encouraged people to broaden their consumption of content from the sea of white, to include more voices of color. One good outcome; an industry that pathologically fell short in diversity is now making strides to amplify and share our stories. Now we are seeing more bloggers of color with innovative and creative perspectives getting the overdue love they deserve.
