Welcome back to the third week of celebrating Black History Month here on Behind The Filter! This week we're joined by my friend, Melissa aka @FabGlance, and PHEW she brought the fire this episode! Melissa is a published author, business owner of GLance Digital Strategy, a plus-sized blogger, and she was recently in an Old Navy commercial! She features up & coming Black influencers on her stories every week, she does #BloggerLifeChats and MORE! We talk about the inner workings of social media platforms and how they're built against people of color, what it's like being a plus-sized influencer, and of course I ask her if she believes that there is in fact, racism in our industry.
