Influencer Education - Episode 5 - Diversity and Representation in Blogging

Diversity in blogging – or lack of diversity, in blogging, is a heavy topic and one I fully admit I’m not the expert to speak on. My guest today is Jenielle of Little Gray Thread, who is a champion for diversity and representation in our industry. In this episode, we talk about why we think there is a lack of diversity in blogging in the first place, and the one simple thing everyone can do help move our industry towards equality.

Influencer Education - Episode 5 - Diversity and Representation in Blogging

Jenielle, Little Gray Thread

Jenielle is an Asian-American Orange County “Mommy Blogger” documenting life with her half-Asian daughters, LittleGray and LittleSage. They are best known for visiting theme parks like Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm in mama-made costumes. She finds joy in writing about kid-friendly activities in Orange County, theme parks, live Broadway theater, and raising inclusive kids. You can find Jenielle on instagram or on her blog at Little Gray Thread.

Key Topics:

  • Discussing diversity and inclusivity can be a tricky topic but is much needed in the influencer marketing industry.
  • When at events, look around the room and notice if all ethnicity are represented.
  • The best way to bring more diversity into our industry is to simply start a conversation.
  • Above all, don’t discount any one’s experience. If someone comes to you with a concern, listen to them and try to understand their point of view.

Mentioned in this Episode:

  • Disney’s Live-Action ‘Little Mermaid’ Casts Halle Bailey as Ariel
  • Bounders of Color on Instagram

Okay, after listening to the #frozen2 soundtrack over and over, and seeing @frozenbroadway, I think I might be a Frozen fan now! 🙊⁣
⁣
I really liked Anna a lot in the broadway show. Her character was so funny. And the best part of the show? No trolls! 🙌🏼 ⁣
⁣
I was #influenced by @thehealthymouse to buy this Anna caplet because it looked so cute on her and I wanted to look cute, too. Elsa said it reminded her of Anna and she also thanked me for taking good care of Bruni! ⁣

Instagram post 2193260297014225308_9267360 {AD} ❤️🎄✨Sharing our @minted holiday cards on the blog! ⁣
⁣
My favorite perks about using Minted ...⁣
⁣
1) Rose gold foil accents. Always.⁣
2) Lots of personalization and layout options.⁣
3) Their “Find It Fast” easy photo preview. Upload the photo you want to use and you’ll see it on all their card designs! Swipe to see a video of what I mean.⁣
4) Address printing! 🙏🏼 Set up your Minted address book and they will print all the addresses on envelopes. 
5) Matching stamps! Swipe to see our very special custom stamps this year. 😸⁣
⁣
❓Have you sent out your holiday cards yet? I think the late Thanksgiving is throwing people off because I haven’t received any cards in the mail yet!⁣

Can you guys even believe Palp is back? How?!? What?!? Why?!? Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds later this month 😭😭😭 #starwars #starwarsstyle #emperorpalpatine #disneyblogger #starwarsvideo #disneybound #disneylife #lenslight #inshot #starwarsfan #disneyfan #instavideo

⁣
Star Wars has been such a big part of my life for decades, it’s tough to believe Episode 9 is almost here and this trilogy is almost over! ⁣
⁣
Disney invited me to attend the global press conference for The Rise of Skywalker today, and JJ Abrams said something that is sticking with me. He said above all, Star Wars is about hope and unity, and I couldn’t agree more! ⁣
⁣
I love so many characters in the Star Wars universe but Chewie holds a special place in my heart. He’s cuddly, loyal, and kind (except maybe to Porgs 😓). Swipe to see how excited he got when he caught me filming him. ⁣
⁣
I can’t wait to see The Rise of Skywalker but I’m also really nervous about it 😥 Anyone else?⁣
