Featured Blogger: Ruby Wright – GrowingUpBlackxican.com

This month’s Feature Blogger is celebrating a blog anniversary! Ruby Wright, Founder & Publisher of Growing Up Blackxican, a blog about growing up bicultural, bilingual, and all the adventures that  go on started  blogging exactly 2 years ago on December 9, 2009, to share what her kids were up to with family and friends since her family was a military family then.

Ruby Wright is  raising her babies to be proud of their two cultures- Black and Mexican.     She also wanted to share the things her family went through dealing with being an interracial couple with bicultural kids.   After doing a survey earlier this year she found that her target audience are 20-30 year-old , married, stay at home moms of toddlers and preschoolers.

Ruby is a beautiful and  amazing writer.  Her blog is honest, informative and thought provoking.  Ruby has been featured at Scentalicious at Blogalicious Blogalicious 2011 Conference.  You can follow her at Twitter at @RubyDW or “Like” her Facebook page:   Growing Up Blackxican.

 

Here is her interview:

  •  Your blog is turning 2 years old? What are some of the lessons learned with your blog? What are some of the goals you have for your blog in 2012?

I’ve learned to be consistent and to interact with my readers.  My goals for 2012 are to feature more GUB like US families and individuals, get my husband to do a guest post, and to continue the bilingualism efforts with more flashcards pintables and related posts.

  • What do you believe helps differentiate your blog/websites & business from others?

I think the name makes our blog very different from others. Though I am another mom blogger my blog is about our cultures, what we go thru being a mixed couple with bicultural kids, and our daily lives.

  • Tell us about three people that you admire and why?

My Mom- A woman with so much passion, dedication, and strong will. Though she could be tough and want you to snap out of it when you’re down she means well and believes in you. My grandfather-A man of faith, determination and loyalty. Always true to his word.

  • What is your favorite life or business quote?

“Life is what you make it.”-Eleanor Roosevelt

  • What advice would you have for a mother who is thinking about starting a blog but may not know where/how to begin? What can you tell them about maintaining balance between home and work?

 Have a plan and research. Blogging is fun but it does take a lot of time. Passion drives most of us. What is your passion? Follow it! To balance home, work, and family is hard I use a planner to stay on top of it all.  Successful bloggers. It takes time, dedication and hard work to maintain a successful blog. I admire those who are committed and passionate about what they share with the world.

  • Can you share what is the most important business habit you have?

Being honest and true to what I write is the most important business habit. I don’t want my readers to think I’m putting on a show or sharing something for my benefit, especially when it comes to reviews and/or giveaways.

  •  If you weren’t a full time blogger, what other field can you see yourself working in?

Definitely would be the education field. Working with continuing education and servicing the community really appealed to me. My job didn’t feel like I job.

  • Are there any other projects you are currently working on? (Additional great news to share)?

I am currently working on a passion that started off by my mother. My mother is an advocate for literacy and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I believe reading to your child aloud has many benefits. I hope to create awareness for reading aloud to kids in English and Spanish thru my blog.

  •  What is the best book you’ve recently read and why?

Well it’s not that recent but I’ve read it 3 times so it must be my favorite. Rain of Gold by Victor Villaseñor will always be my go to. It reminds me of my family. My grandparents, our culture, my home!  It can always make me feel at peace when I’m homesick.

  •  Do you ever refuse to review products you don’t actually use or believe in?

Yes! I refuse because I am not trying to be a commercial. I have to truly believe in the product and it has to fit my blog.

  •  Do you promote events or support through your blog any particular charity or non-profit organization?

Yes I support Ronald  McDonald House Charities, March of Dimes, USO, Kiwanis and LATISM.

 

Happy Blog Anniversary Ruby!

We Need Your Support
Here’s where you come in. We’re reaching out to our community to help Laurita with her cause and to support these amazing families who give back every day. Now it’s our turn to give back. We want to invite you to participate in this fundraiser. Our hope is to have 100 bloggers participate in this event and your support we’ll help us get there.

How you can help:

Join Latina Mom Bloggers Twitter Chat and Learn about Diabetes Resources for Latinos

According to the American Diabetes Association, there is a total of 25.8 million children and adults with diabetes in the United States.  That’s 8.3% of the population!!!  In New York there are 440,000 Latinos with Diabetes and growing.   The American Diabetes Association leads the fight against the deadly consequences of diabetes and fights for those affected—by diabetes by funding research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes and delivering services and information to hundreds of communities.  They also give voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes.

Montefiore Medical Center’s mission is to heal, to teach, to discover and to advance the health of the communities we serve. Established in 1884 as a hospital for patients with chronic illnesses, our history is rich with pioneering medical firsts and research, as well as an exceptional dedication to the community. The majority of Montefiore’s patients are Hispanic since the majority of the people living in the community served is Hispanic.  The Bronx was New York City’s first borough to have a majority of people of color and is the only borough with a Latino majority.

It’s time to STOP DIABETES!   

Please join Latina Mom Bloggers, Hispanicize and Being Latino as we discuss Diabetes Resources, Tips and Data with the American Diabetes Association and Montefiore Medical Center’s.   Hope to see you at the ADA Diabetes Tweet Chat!  Let’s unite and STEP OUT and Walk to Fight Stop Diabetes.
