Melanin March Madness, #BLACKOUT Edition

Shout out to the first ever #BlackOutDay on Tumblr this month! 
buzzfeed.com
The widely praised phenomenon that celebrated all things black and beautiful, trended across all social mediums (see receipts A, B, C, and D). Birthed straight from the dark blue depths of Tumblr, the numbers for #BlackOutDay on March 6, 2015 soared and
crossed over to Facebook, Vine, Instagram and Twitter with more than 160,000 tweets alone.
It was also met with concerns such as the ever- prevalent "why isn't there a #whiteoutday?" or the controversial, "what if I am of mixed race?" The creators of the webwide event nukirk and expect-the-greatest, organized together to answer any questions, here, and have also started an official site to archive the day and future black outs.

The next #BlackOutDay will be April 3, 2015, just in time for Spring. Celebrate sun-kissed skin!
