5 Ethnic Content Creators in Memphis, TN

Being a woman who’s grown up in New York with an Indian/Punjabi/Sikh heritage, I knew that I had a great diverse and ethnic background than others.  After I moved to Memphis, I realized that diversity was lacking in this city.  However, I had prepared myself for that culture shock, since I knew that no other city is as diverse as New York. 

Once I started my blogging journey, back in 2018, I found a whole new community of people – many with very diverse and ethnic backgrounds like myself.  So, to celebrated the official International Diversity Day today, I wanted to present some amazingly diverse and ethnic bloggers from Memphis to my readers.  I hope you enjoy and find some new bloggers to follow and learn more about.

How Important is your ethnic background to you?:  Is simple who I am, what makes me. I love my culture and our traditions.

What’s one thing you love about your ethnic and diverse background?:  One thing I love about my ethnicity is the energy we carry, as a Mexican young woman, I love to enjoy life by parting with my loved ones and also enjoy our delicious authentic dishes.

Fun/Random Fact(s):  A random fact about me would be that I started dancing since I was 14 years old for a very loving group here in Memphis, TN called “Danza Azteca Quetzalcoatl” is a group of Aztec dancers.

Blog/content nicheMy blog is about book reviews in 3 minutes and focusing mostly on the suspense/mystery/thriller/crime genre.

Ethnic background:  I am Asian

How Important is your ethnic background to you?:  My ethnicity plays a big role in my identity and way of living. There are many things that make me stand out because of the traditions and the culture that was stuck to me.

What’s one thing you love about your ethnic and diverse background?:  One thing I love about my diverse background is that I tend to understand what other people seem to do and why they do it. Another thing that played a big role as well was that, I went to an International School from grade school until high school which resulted to my diverse cultural knowledge plus. It is hard to denote just one thing about why I love my diverse background but it all boils down to: I learned and continuously honor different beliefs, traditions, and culture.

Jeremie Serrano of LaComidaDeJeremie

Started blogging2017 on LaComidaDeJeremie

Blog/content niche:  Plant-based food & Art

Ethnic background:  Puerto Rican

How Important is your ethnic background to you?:  My Boricua background is something very important to me because of where we are as a country. I think it’s so important to celebrate who we are and ensure that our roots are always celebrated. Being Puerto Rican to me is honoring my ancestors by being my most authentic self while teaching others how to cook our cuisine and enjoy our diverse culture.

What’s one thing you love about your ethnic and diverse background?:  What I love most about my Puerto Rican background are our food and music. I don’t think you can separate the two because they truly go hand in hand. Whenever you eat a plate of Boricua food you can definitely taste the salsa & afro beats that were poured into every piece of that meal. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Fun/Random Fact(s): I was born in Puerto Rico but raised in New England.  I’m a Virgo. I’ve been cooking professionally for 4 years now.  I taught myself how to draw by watching Blues Clues at the age of 4 and it’s literally how I got my start in the arts
