More than 4 years ago I started Young Black and Fabulous simply because I was just another young black woman addicted to celebrities, gossip, and how they lived the fabulous life. I never imagined for one millisecond that it would become a business venture. And more importantly…a lifestyle for so many different types of people.
For January 2010, Black Enterprise magazine chose entrepreneurs to feature and cover their “BE Next” issue. And the theme is focusing on the business leaders of the younger generation who have successfully created their own lanes. It was BEYOND an honor for me to be chosen as one of the four entrepreneurs for the cover feature. (I’m the one standing by the way) I have my YBF fans–many of whom have been with me and my ups and downs from Day 1 when my posts were infiltrated with complaints about law school–to thank for that. Many people simply see a few posts just published on the site everyday without realizing the work, business, relationships, and hardships that come with an internet business such as a celebrity gossip entertainment site. And the sometimes impossible task of being a young black woman in a business world as new as this one. So to be recognized by a business leader in their own right such as Black Enterprise, as well as the MANY, MANY YBF fans who know and appreciate all the work I and the YBF team put into the brand and how drastically it’s grown purely by word of mouth, is the most amazing feeling I’ve felt in a long time.
More personal words when you read the rest….
The YBF lifestyle isn’t just for celebrities. We all have our own bit of YBF in us. Yes, even my readers who are far from young and black and do not hesitate emailing me telling me that they read and love it anyway. And I love my readers for that. I did not begin this site to embark on a journey to become a celebrity myself. That is still not one of my priorities in the least bit, which is why I choose to stay in the background and focus solely on my business. But my purpose has indeed evolved from just simply being a writer about red carpets, fab celebrities, and foolywang. I hope to create a path for others to follow that encompasses ownership of our own brands and businesses, responsibility, being fabulous in our own right, and putting our own community on a pedestal. It is so necessary in my book of life. And I hope it becomes necessary in yours.
Of course no one and nothing is perfect, and I appreciate my readers who understand that and stick by YBF through its ups and downs. TheYBF.com is on the brink of a brand new re-design and re-launch that I cannot WAIT to get you all involved in. And several other business ventures (including more components on YBF) that will bring fabulosity to other lanes of our lives. So my theme for 2010 is Fearlessness. I actually had second thoughts about opening up and being on front street for this issue of Black Enterprise. I never intended for YBF to be about myself–Natasha–per se. I was just another person who was a fan of celebrities–just like you. But after 3 weeks of wondering why I wanted to say “NO” so badly to this cover shoot, I realized much of it was fear of what would come next. But tomorrow is never promised. And where much has been given, much will be asked. So I URGE you–urge=more fabulous word for “beg” :) –to pick up a copy (or 5) of this January issue of BE to find out more about me–Natasha–the “friend in your head” you talk with a few times a day. I did it for my readers because you just never know who will be helped or inspired by it.
YBF and Black Enterprise also came up with a special deal for all you fabulous readers. YBF readers will exclusively get a 1-year Black Enterprise subscription for 50% less than the regular price. You can visit http://bit.ly/BEforYBF to sign up for your subscription. The January 2010 issue is on stands now in some places, and by December 29th, 2009 everywhere.
Happy 40th Anniversary to Black Enterprise. Check out the site for the behind the scenes video from the shoot. Shout out to my fabulous personal stylist for the shoot Jason Rembert. And thanks to AOL Black Voices for my interview about the BE cover story.
STAY FAB!

Mon, December 21, 2009 8:20 AM
Congrats Soror. I read about your site in addition to other black gossip sites in either Essence or Ebony magazine some years ago. I must say that yours is more up-to-date, funnier, more informative, and have a much better layout/design than the others. Keep doing what you’re doing……Think big!
Mon, December 21, 2009 8:22 AM
Tasha:
This is so awesome. To God be the glory! I started reading your blog a few years ago while I was in law school (in class since this was way more interesting than lectures) and it still serves as my little escape today! You give an unfulfilled lawyer hope girl! LOL!
Mon, December 21, 2009 8:23 AM

Congrats Tasha!
Mon, December 21, 2009 8:23 AM
I am proud of you, Natasha! I saw this (and see more) coming because I checked your alexa ratings and they are very impressive…and inspiring. Nothing beats the essence of ownership and being the head decision maker of when, how, and why you earn a living. Much love and many blessings from your fan at Green Gala Entertainment (female owned and operated)in St. Louis.
Mon, December 21, 2009 8:23 AM

This is one of my favorite sites. Congratulations! Even though we can sometimes take this blog for granted, we know there is a lot of business/behind the scenes action that we don’t get to see and frankly don’t want to, but appreciate nonetheless as it brings us this great website. You’ve come a LONG way for 4 years and this accolade is well deserved.
Mon, December 21, 2009 8:27 AM
I’m proud of you lady! What a way to bring in the new year! Congrats!

Congrats Natasha!
Mon, December 21, 2009 8:43 AM
Wow this is MAJOR! The Black Enterprise cover has always been a dream of mine. You Go Girl!
Mon, December 21, 2009 8:44 AM
Tash I l0ove it when successful young black people are recognised, well done on being selected for te cover, I don’t think you’ll regret it-there is no need to hide-many people read this site and catch jokes from it so you may as well lap up the praise I know I would!

congrats very inspiring my beautiful blk sista
Mon, December 21, 2009 8:53 AM
All blogs are somewhat biased. Have you read some of the others? YBF is not negative at all, in my opinion. There are WORSE blogs that spew HATE all the time like S R for example…Let Natsha have her moment :)
Mon, December 21, 2009 8:55 AM
SO HAPPY FOR YOU GO GIRL!!! YOU DESERVE ALL YOUR SUCCESS BECAUSE YOU WORKED HARD, AND NEVER GAVE UP. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SITE IT’S MY FAVORITE GOSSIP SITE YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS GIVING US THE JUICE LOL! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU.

My bad on all the spelling/grammatical errors!
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:09 AM
I was just about to say the same thing!
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:09 AM
You are BLESSED! Congratulations!
Instead of rappers, actors, and ballers, YBF folks can find inspiration on every page Black Enterprise plus learn how build their own wealth. BE influenced me to start my own business this year.
Congratulations again on all your well deserved success!
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:10 AM
Congrads!! I will honestly say that this is now my favorite site on the web. I still go to the other “Black gossip” sites but they have fallen by the way-side because they seem to be a bunch of haters reporting subjectively instead of objectively which is on of the most important rules of journalism. I think that your site points out the obivious yet isnt mean and just spewing hate but just reporting the facts. I also love the fact that you GET that fashion is very important! Keep doing what you do from one “writer” and celebrity lover to another :-)
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:10 AM
CONGRATULATIONS. U KEPT ME ENTERTAINED…ALL THOSE TIMES I SAT LISTENING TO THOSE BORING PROFESSORS IN MY 8 AM LECTURES I WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SCROLLING THRU UR WEBSITE. I ALWAYS FELT SO GUILTY THAT I WAS WASTING MY TUITION MONEY. BUT NOW I’VE GRADUATED AND NOW I CAN LAUGH AT IT. KEEP DOING UR THING.
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:12 AM
CONGRATS!!!! SO PROUD OF YOU
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:13 AM
Congratulations, Natasha!
Being featured on the cover of a respected business magazine is such a career capstone, and to achieve that at such a young age is wonderful.
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:15 AM
Congratulations Natasha and I hope you are saving for a rainy day!
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:15 AM

Mon, December 21, 2009 9:17 AM
Wow congrats Tash, it seems like it was only yesterday I was surfing the net for something fun and more meaningful in my celeb gossip when I came across this site on happenstance and I have visited everyday since those first days in the beginning. So I have watched it grow and become something much bigger than I had ever expected. You and this site have def become an inspiration to me because I know ur somebody just like me….funny, smart, talented…BLACK and you keeps it real, plus now u dun came son!!!!! I am a fan or a stan of YBF so I will be there to continue to watch it grow even bigger, I really hope you realize that you are on the brink of something so major and that a sista can get a job…..I’m for real I just got my BBA (LOL)
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:20 AM

oh pls…would have respected you if your blog was free of insults from you and biased news…You are no better than perez and the likes!Good luck in life
I believe Tasha is far from bias! A lot of times her comments are what we are already thinking. If you think she is bias then try readin sandrarose.com for a day. She is so bias and negative that I had to stop viewing her site!
But anyways, congrats Tasha you definitely deserve it. I check your site all day,everyday and it keeps me entertained at work. Wish you and the YBF team nothing but success!
Mon, December 21, 2009 10:00 AM
Proud of you. Why? Because I remember when you first started. I remember the “law school posts”. I remember emailing you directly and you answering right away because it was just you and your computer trying to blog a little bit. LOL… Ride this to the top and continue to work hard and build your brand. You’re a force to be reckoned with. ;)
Mon, December 21, 2009 10:00 AM

Awwwww!! I’m so happy for you Natasha! Congratulations!!! In 2006, a high school friend of mine (who later also became a co-worker) told me about your site one day while at work. She said that she went to college with you. Her name is Mesky D. I have been addicted every since Mesky told me about YBF. TheYBF has by far been my favorite blog site since then. And chiiiiiiilllld, the site has grown so much since I have been reading it. Thanks for the daily gossip. I have also told numerous friends and family members about this site and they also love it. Keep up the hard work girlie!! And I will be picking up that magazine to read more about my “friend in my head.”

Mon, December 21, 2009 1:28 PM
SO writing a blog is enterprising these days? i guess I can get on black Enterprise too if I had the patience to write about celeb gossip and pplz business. By the way since you’re ‘doing big things’ would it be too much to ask to upgrade your server? This site is inoperable during the daytime hours.
Congrats I guess.
Mon, December 21, 2009 1:30 PM
Ok, I’ve always wondered what u looked like. Good to c u! My laughter is guaranteed here, so I must thank u for this site. I still remember the day I discovered it while on the google tip.

Congrats Natasha!! Love YBF, and yes you’re a “friend in my head”.

Mon, December 21, 2009 2:05 PM

Mon, December 21, 2009 2:08 PM
Yeah, as Shakur said, once in a while you get a simultaneous connect database error.
But it’s all good.
Mon, December 21, 2009 2:17 PM

Mon, December 21, 2009 2:39 PM
Go Natasha! Congrats! Happy Holidays and New Year!
Mon, December 21, 2009 2:40 PM
Congratulations! You are truly one of the most classy celebrity bloggers, and im so happy to support another young black woman. May you blessed many times over!
Mon, December 21, 2009 2:50 PM
Congrats! Keep up the great work. I am curious, what sorority is Tasha a member of?
Mon, December 21, 2009 2:52 PM
Congratualtions! Black Enterprise is BIG TIME! Black Enterprise is what all YBF readers should aspire to. Instead of aspiring to be rappers or athletes, BE profiles those corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and political figures who are the real “ballers” in the global economy. Their editorial content surrounding investing and wealth creation is second to none!
Bravo!
Mon, December 21, 2009 2:59 PM
Congrats! Can’t wait to see these major changes in 2010!
Mon, December 21, 2009 3:05 PM
Tasha your success is inspiration to us all. Keep doing what you do! And God bless.
Mon, December 21, 2009 3:08 PM
I wish u much more success in the future Natasha. I like what she said about putting our own community on a pedestal.
Thanks for doing a story on our girl Black Enterprise and putting her on your cover. I didn’t know that magazine was 40 yrs old. I had a neighbor who was moving away from my state and she had all of these magazines and she asked me did i want any i told her yes. She said i can have any of the mags but not the Black Enterprise magazines. Happy 40th Black Enterprise!
I was reading through some of the comments and there are people on here from Malaysia and Germany that on this site. Amazing. Big shout out to the Germans, Malaysians and everyone else from around the world that’s on this blog.
Mon, December 21, 2009 3:10 PM
OMG Natasha! I couldn’t even finish reading your post before deciding to go on and say CONGRATULATIONS! I can only imagine how amazingly blessed you must feel. I am especially proud for you because I am one of those “from Day 1″ readers. It’s been a joy to watch YBF grow bigger & better over the years and I continue to check in faithfully daily (got you bookmarked girlie). Again congrats and continued success to you and the entire YBF team.
Mon, December 21, 2009 3:11 PM
Wow!!! Congrats to you! TheYBF is one of my most favorite site to visit whenever I’m online. congrats!!

Mon, December 21, 2009 6:03 PM
Natasha – a big congratulations to you – I’ve been rocking with YBF for a minute and while there are several other gossip sites that I like to visit in addition to ybf, nobody updates their site as frequently as you do – you truly give the people what they want (even if it means cutting into your personal time which it undoubtely does!). You keep it classy in terms of dealing with your fellow bloggers (because clearly you understand there’s enough foolwang to go around). These characteristics are just a few of the reasons I remain a loyal ybf fan.
Stay fearless in 2010 and beyond! Continued success! :)
Mon, December 21, 2009 6:16 PM
job well done. keep up the fab work!
Mon, December 21, 2009 6:25 PM

Mon, December 21, 2009 8:30 PM
Congrats Natasha, I remember when you started. I saw that you were from New Orleans(my hometown) and I was inspired then… Afterwards, You moved, I’m not sure b/c of the storm or Law School but anyway I have always been proud of you. You are truly an inspiration! GOD BLESS YOU!
Mon, December 21, 2009 8:35 PM
LOL. You’ve come a long way,girl and I definitely remember the complaints about law school. Congratulations on your accomplishmant and keep up the good work!
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:10 PM
CONGRATS! You deserve it!
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:34 PM
OK NOW THAT YOU’RE GETTING RECOGNIZED. I SUGGEST YOU TAKE WRITING CLASSES. ‘CAUSE YOUR WRITING IS JUST PLAIN AWFUL..AWFUL!
AND NOW THAT YOU’RE ALMOST FAMOUS, CAN YOU STOP BEING SUCH A HATER. YOU ALWAYS HATE ON THE PRETTY FEMALE CELEBS (RIRI, KIM K, AND THE LIKE) AND IT’S SO GLARING.
Mon, December 21, 2009 9:45 PM
Congrats! That’s a huge honor. I’ve been a BE subscriber for years. Look forward to reading that issue.

Mon, December 21, 2009 10:47 PM
Congrats! This recognition is much deserved! Thank you for keeping us informed on what’s going on in OUR world. Many other gossip sites don’t really cover black celebrity gossip…except for the same people (Beyonce, Jay Z, Halle). So thank you! You should be making more than Perez Hilton. I know when I come to your site that I’m getting the best and most accurate news.
Mon, December 21, 2009 11:31 PM

You guys are definitely onto a great thing and I really don’t know what I would do without my daily YBF intake :) Keep up the great work, and I’ll definitely be copping the BE issue.

NATASHA I HAD TO SAY CONGRATS AGAIN!!!!!!!!
NOW BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL PLEASE BAN THE IGNORANCE THAT IS THE BASIS OF ALL OF THE COMMENTS MADE BY RENA1970….PLEASE ALREADY SHE IS SO DISRESPECTFUL TO ALL WHO COMMENT ON YOUR SITE!!!!!
Tue, December 22, 2009 7:20 AM
CONGRATULATIONS! What a way to start the New Year. I develop a yearly theme as well. FEARLESS is the way to go! re: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -Marianne Williamson
Tue, December 22, 2009 7:38 AM
Congratulations Natasha! YBF is my favorite blog and I have read it religiously since 2006. I look forward to seeing what more you all have in store for the YBF readers. Keep up the good work!!!!

Tue, December 22, 2009 10:55 AM
Congrats girl!! Now dont get to big for the kids, we want that same ‘ol one on one type feel when we come on the site. It’s like a public email chain from you to bloggers…BE is great for recognizing that trends in the young black community and giving exposure to non traditional leaders and influential figures… Let’s do this in 2010 yall– I wanna challenge all my YBF’ers to start up something near to their hearts. Let’s all grab that entreprenuerial spirit and support each other… Best of luck to you all!!
Tue, December 22, 2009 1:33 PM

Tue, December 22, 2009 1:35 PM
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your site, but I read it everyday. I love it. One of the best.
Tue, December 22, 2009 2:48 PM
Natasha please continue to use haters (promised myself i’d retire that word) like “Biola” as your foot stool to climb to the success that you desire in life. KONGRATS Soror!!! OOOOOOOOOOOP OOOOOOOOOP
Tue, December 22, 2009 3:17 PM
Congratulations, sister! I am so happy for your. I’m very new to this sight (been a lurker for quite some time), and I’m always happy for young, black people that make it big. You’re doing big things, girl! You hear black people all the time saying, “We’ve gotta do better.” Well you are an example of many black people that are doing better.
I wish you much more success than your wildest dreams can take you. Dreams do come true.
Tue, December 22, 2009 3:18 PM
Sheesh! I’m happy for YOU, not your.
Tue, December 22, 2009 3:58 PM
Congrats….love this site…..would love it even more if you could STOP posting stories about the bajan chick who lacks talent!
Tue, December 22, 2009 4:19 PM
Although I don’t care for gossip sites or blogs,I will say that this site feel more a like a family that just a place where people just give “fly by” opinions. Your integrity is also quite noticeable. You don’t post any and everything just for the sake of hits.
I will say congratulations to you and the family that you have created due to your vision. Here’s to many more accolades.
Tue, December 22, 2009 5:59 PM
Natasha, that’s excellent! Congrats! Well deserved.
Tue, December 22, 2009 7:25 PM
I love this site. You’re fast and efficient. I was a concrete looper but like their slogan says “Quality not Quanity” and F that I need quantity. A story is a story, I could care less about the way it’s posted. Congrats and I will definately pick up a copy!

Wed, January 6, 2010 1:33 AM
I travel. I perform. I run my own company. I win competitions here and there. I get asked for interviews and articles, all while being a full time student in grad school. ….and then I get asked, “Tina what keeps you going? Where does your inspiration come from?” Simply put, I’m moved by God and by cool people like you, Natasha (and Chi Chi, and Luis Lugo)- people who I’ve seen grow from ordinary undergrad students to individuals who show me what the hustle is about, what faith really is, and how to take your craft to the next level. Congrats on such a wonderful accomplishment and can’t wait to see US on someone’s red carpet! God bless, girl!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn’t be happier for you. I spread the word to boost your following and you deserve every good thing. I followed (and related to) your law school posts and stayed because your blog is just addictive. Reach out to me if you ever need a GC. Hee hee!!
Sat, January 9, 2010 5:27 PM
Hi Natasha!
My sister Sheronda introduced me to your site about a year ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I check The YBF regularly for updates on the latest celebrity news.
So very proud of you and your success! Keep up the good work! This is your year, and you win in 2010!
Sun, January 10, 2010 7:38 PM
I have been around since its inception (circa 2006) and simply love your blog to pieces. I have also spread the word to a few folks who are now tried and true YBF fans as well. From one entrepreneur to another, I am very, very proud of you and what you do. Kudos to you, Natasha and keep it up, despite those who’d love to see you down. -NB
Sun, January 10, 2010 7:56 PM
Oops, circa 2005.
Mon, January 11, 2010 11:40 AM
Congratulations! This is quite an accomplishment!
Tue, January 12, 2010 3:08 PM
Greetings Tasha, You and I both are from the same city but I now reside in Atlanta Ga. First I wanted to say congratulations to you on being featured on the Black Enterprise cover that is huge. You are an inspiration to many of us, who out of fear chose to stay in the background. I have been in the music business for many years and I have a known online magazine. I also wanted to thank you for posting up my story that I broke about a month ago that reached nationwide attention. Keep doing what you do and congrats on the expansion of your company and site. Wish you nothing but the best.
Isis
Tue, January 12, 2010 5:38 PM
This story is very inspiring because she is young and ran with an idea I bet nobody supported her on. I too have an internet company(CourtCred.com that is only 1 year old and I can see the light.
Tue, January 12, 2010 8:09 PM
i knew you had a successful brand when i first started reading this in ‘06 i was hooked and your brand is a natural progression of passion and i wish you many blessings keep the juice flowin.

Honey Boo!! I see you are hiding your BIG ASS in the background. That the beauty of blogging on the internet you can be anonymous. While you are judging celebrities who’s judging you? Ha ha ha I always knew you were not very attractive. But when you have brains who need beauty RIGHT? hee hee

Congratulations Natasha,
I first learned about the YBF when I heard you on Big Boi radio show. I was so sick of looking at US Weekly or Life & Style etc.. I was like “can I get more news and reviews about us”. I pulled it up on my computer at work and I have been hooked every since. It’s been about a year and a half now. All the comments and your critiques have me rolling. I have since got my colleagues addicted as well. Keep it up and and to all the haters “you’re just mad that you didn’t think of it yourself”.
