Hello My Beautiful Brown Girls,
Somehow my Brown Girl Gumbo page on Facebook was erased. Therefore, it would mean the world to me if you could “like” me again.

Thanks in advance,
Karla aka BGG
From beauty to style, stirring up everything that chic brown girls love!

For the past 8 years I’ve been basically carrying my life around in huge bags. Whether satchels, hobos, buckets, or totes, big bags have been my go-to purses to house everything from iPads to bobby pins to a countless collection of lip-glosses.

It’s with great pleasure that I introduce my new BGG contributor, Khadijah. She holds a master’s degree in journalism and hails from Queens, New York. Khadijah’s looking forward to keeping BGG fresh and on the pulse of what’s new in the world of beauty/style.
I’m sure you guys will enjoy reading her weekly posts on BGG.
Here’s a snapshot of Khadijah’s take on beauty and fashion:
Finding out the latest scoop in celebrity culture, discovering the best beauty products and uncovering the latest fashion trends are my true passions. Working a 9-5 job pays the bills, but browsing an aisle in Sephora makes my heart flutter. I’m grateful for having the opportunity to be a part of the Brown Girl Gumbo family and look forward to keeping you updated with all things that make us brown girls unique and beautiful.
Available at drugstores nationwide for about $11.
