Our visionary, Tonya Cross, is now a regular contributor to Dear Curl Friend. Dear Curl Friend is a digital platform for women to connect about their natural hair and receive beauty tips. See excerpt from her article below titled 4 Tips to Establish and Maintain Influence In Your Niche…
When I finally reached 1K followers on Twitter, I was very excited. Then I started looking at the numbers of some other natural hair influencers.
