Make MyBrownBaby THE BEST BLOG FOR BLACK MOMS
by Denene Millner — Aug 3, 2010
Ohmigod MyBrownBaby readers are the BESTEST! I mean, like, I heart you. I really, really heart you. Like the cast of Jersey Shore loves dranks. Like Terrell Owens and Chad Ocho Cinco love them some white women. Like Kanye West loves himself.
That's Mary J. Blige REAL LOVE y'all.
And why, my darlings, am I professing my profound affection for each and every one of MyBrownBaby's readers? Well, because MyBrownBaby was selected as a finalist in the 2010 Black Weblog Awards for BEST PARENTING AND FAMILY BLOG!

With more than 32,000 nominations made and 10,000 ballots cast, MyBrownBaby is proud to be recognized as one of the best blogs about parenting and families on the web. I work hard to advocate for and celebrate black moms and moms of beautiful brown babies in every single post that makes its way onto this site, and I'm so pleased that you, my readers, cast your votes in support of the work I do here. For you. For us.
Now, you all know how much I like those Black Weblog Awards Winner buttons. They're fancy. And so am I. And I want one. So I neeeeeed you, my dear sweet MyBrownBaby readers, to vote for MBB one mo' gin. You have the entire month of August to vote to make MyBrownBaby a winner, but you might as well go on ahead and do it now, my sweets while it's on your mind. Please, please, PLEASE go through the entire six pages of the voting, include your email addy (they do not use it to spam you, promise!) and VERIFY YOUR VOTE, or else it will not count. And I’ll lose. And you won’t be able to see the YouTube video of me wopping it out to one of my favorite late ’80s songs.
Oh yeah, you read that right: I will post on my YouTube page a video of me wopping. Want to see it? CAST YOUR VOTE FOR MYBROWNBABY HERE.
Winners will be announced sometime around September 1.
I invite you, too, to check out and vote for a few of my other blog favorites, including:
