So, I am a part of an awesome blogger family made up of black bloggers from around the world! We have bonded over our shared love of food and our desires to have successful blogs! These ladies (and a few gentlemen) are true friends, so what do friends do? They gather over food of course! Since we have miles and oceans between us, we decided to host a virtual Thanksgiving potluck. Here is the best part, you all get to enjoy it too! Curated by my blogger friend Dash of Jazz, this menu is made up of the best contributions of talented black food bloggers from around the country and reflects our shared Thanksgiving experiences! Enjoy our Black Bloggers Virtual Thanksgiving!
