One thing I’ve learned throughout my first blogging year, which I kinda-sorta celebrated in October 2016, is that bloggers/entrepreneurs NEED SUPPORT. I have been an advocate for supporting local long before I started blogging, but over the last few months I’ve seen how absolutely important for us locals to support our own. Just like the bigger brands, small businesses need your dollar too, and if you can’t contribute financially, then sharing some encouraging words will definitely help. It goes a long way. Trust me, I know.
Since I started blogging, I have discovered some great local businesses and products, but one thing I love is being able to connect with other bloggers sharing really great content, especially those from right here in Grenada. This post is dedicated to these bloggers, which you can also follow. Some, you may already know, but others are just starting out and I’d appreciate if you can support. See list below which I created in random order.
