Connections with Renee Shaw

Gina McCauley publishes two blogs: What About Our Daughters, a blog dedicated to combating negative portrayals of African-American women in popular culture, and Michelle Obama Watch, a blog that critiques the media’s coverage of Michelle Obama. She is the founder of Blogging While Brown, the first international conference for bloggers of color.

The Texas native tells how she has convinced some large corporations to withdraw their advertising dollars from media that demean women. McCauley was part of the Kentucky Women Writers Conference in September, where she led a workshop about blogging and social media.
