How has Natasha Nicholes influenced the blogging community since her early days at BlogHer?

Natasha Nicholes has always shown up as a connector and community-builder more than a “look at me” blogger. From those early BlogHer days, her influence has been about making the space feel welcoming and real.

She’s shared the messy, honest side of motherhood, homeschooling, and city homesteading, which helped other creators feel free to be multidimensional: parenting, activism, gardening, travel, and fun in one place. Her “serial hobbyist” approach gave permission to pivot, experiment, and not be boxed into a niche.

By actively engaging at conferences like BlogHer and in online communities, she’s built relationships that last beyond events, especially for Black moms and Chicago creators who see themselves in her work.

Is there a specific area of her influence you’re most curious about—representation, community-building, or brand work?
