Popsugar Parenting Antiracism Diverse Parenting Influencers to Follow on Instagram 20 Parenting Influencers Who'll Help You Expand Your View of Motherhood 5 August 2020 by Sara Ahmed Image Sources: Instagram user aaronicabcole, Instagram user thesnazzymom and Instagram user pinklip As a woman of colour content creator myself, I can tell you first-hand that it is such a struggle to take up this space that has been predominantly given to white women. And as I have grown and cultivated my platform, I came to realise how much the divisiveness in our country can be mitigated by our ability to empathize with one another. This is why it is pertinent to expand our scope of understanding for other women — and an easy way to do so is to diversify your social media feed. Instead of curating a homogenized feed full of people that look similar to you, consider this a prime opportunity to expand your understanding through a commonality that unites so many women: motherhood. I've put together a list of some of my favourite BIPOC women to follow, all of who are amplifying diverse narratives of motherhood. Scroll through and follow this gallery of 20 women of colour bloggers, influencers, and content creators to broaden Instagram feed and expand your view of motherhood!
