Hi! My name is Kim Foster and I’m a new media enthusiast and social media addict who has been building websites for more than 10 years and blogs for 5. My passion is expanding the presence of women of color in the digital world.

This blog contains my insights on the changing media landscape as well as links digital media news and resources.

Who is Kim?

I’m a Harvardian, a new media publisher and digital marketing strategist, and I currently use this blog to connect with digitally inclined Women of Color.

At 9, I taught myself HTML, and the art of web development immediately captured my interest.  I created my first websites on Gurlpages and Geocities, and about a year later, I created my first online magazine Starlett.

I didn’t come to blogging until the relatively late date of 2006. But in that time I’ve created a few blogs (most notably Black Style Central and For Harriet), and learned the ins and outs of blogging and digital promotion.

Why Tumblr?

I get this question quite frequently, and I understand why. Tumblr has yet to become a standard mainstream blogging destination.

I set up shop on Tumblr because of the flexibility and portability of the platform. I love writing longer posts, but occasionally I just want to share a link or video. This was the best choice to insure my readers get the best experience.
