XoNecole

XoNecole is the second platform from Necole Kane, who we first met through her late 2000s urban entertainment gossip site, Necole Bitchie. Kane stated that she became someone that she wasn't, and thus changed directions and started XoNecole, a place where "positive images of women of color flourish, where life, work, travel, and fashion intersect." From interesting features like "This 56-Year-Old Grandmother Is Proof That Pole Dancing Knows No Age" to helpful how-to guides on how to navigate life as a millennial, XoNecole is another hit from Necole Kane.
