Chictopia Influential Blogger of the Year Winner

U are simply inspiring, I'm super excited I came across your site! Tye http://www.lagelledailydose.blogspot.com

 You have the greatest blog and the most beautiful outfits!!! You are simply gorgeous! Keep on the great job! You are fantastic!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations! I am so happy for you. I don't usually vote in these things but when I seen you were a nominee I made sure to vote. Again congrats!!!!

Folake, woman I am so emotional right now in hearing this fantastic news of your win! Of course I voted for you on Chictopia and blasted to my other blogger buddies on Facebook of your inspiring interview regarding "Racism in Fashion", my call to action was "Will You Listen?" I'm recalling when I first signed up for a Chictopia account sometime in 2008 and I spent days trying to "link" with other bloggers like myself - there were none. With the exception of yourself and another incredible fashion blogger from D.C. named Chomy aka The Culture Cynic. I chose to simply follow you two, hoping to remain inspired while working on my own clothing line and discovering my own since of style. I'm happy to report that I am happy with the baby steps I've taken so far to build my own original content. I can now be found on blogger, facebook, chictopia and many others. But I'm learning that you have to put in the work, simple and plain. Fast forward to 2011... After almost 11years of sewing and designing I will be a featured designer at my very first fashion show! #fullofnervesandexcitment Chomy's blog the Culture Cynic is still going strong and continuing to build a strong voice and presence on the web - I love her in-your-face, what you see is what you get persona! And you Folake, for you dear this is ONLY the beginning your imagery alone has burned confidence, focus and respect into my spirit and it feels fantastic to be able to connect with someone so dynamic! You keep the inspiration to be powerful in your own beauty flowing constantly. That's why this win for you, is well deserved, but the symbol behind a blogger of color winning the crown, is a victory felt by all of us who follow you.*smiling* So I'm signing off, but thank you for knowing your beauty and strength then sharing it with the rest of us who dream of greatness among our peers. Biggest Hugs!
