Cocoa Diaries is the #1 resource created for Black collegiate women by Black collegiate women. Despite being one of the\u00a0 most educated demographics, Black women pursuing higher education are forced to endure hostile educational environments, lack of mentorship, and scarce scholastic resources. That’s where we come in!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cThe Cocoa Diaries platform is, screaming Black Girl magic with the vibrant use of the color cocoa, and providing so much insight for Black girls attending college today, from academic and self-care tips to social justice concepts. All of these features make for an astounding platform to provide information and beneficial advice for Black girls attending prestigious colleges and universities today.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cMy favorite thing about the platform you all have created with Cocoa Diaries would have to be the aesthetic of the brand paired with the genuine want to see other girls strive! Watching Black girls who are only a few years older than me so openly take the initiative to help cultivate a table for us all to sit at is so inspiring. I feel that now more than ever, that reminder is so important.\u201d\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cThe greatest aspect of the Cocoa Diaries platform is that it just gets me. I feel seen and heard. I can relate to your posts deeply, not only as a Black woman, but as a Black collegiate woman, and that small sense of reassurance that I am not alone in this struggle does empower me to continue on.\u201d<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
