In a time when Black Women are NOT looked upon favorably, it brings my heart such joy & pleasure to present to you “The 100 Most Powerful Black Women On Twitter” List! According to BlackWeb2.0, they used Klout and Twittergrader, two online reputation measurement tools, to compile a list of the 100 most powerful black women on Twitter. These women have gained a tremendous amount of influence on Twitter by amassing a large number of followers, retweets, and memberships on user lists.
Now I don’t know how the HELL KAT STACKS got on this list, but the rest of these women are PHENOMENAL! They omitted quite a few I can think of off the top of my head. But for the most part, I follow MOST of these ladies myself, and I’m proud to be able to call many of them Friend.
CONGRATULATIONS LADIES! You’ve Earned It.
-“The BklynBandette.” Mr. Hollywood’s Co-Defendant.

Great post and thanks for it, Twitter has taken over hmmm interesting indeed lol your shocked that Kat Stacks is on the list…well they are going by net buzz and gossip so yea she is right where she should be. As for “how did” who get where…how did Neicy Nash even get thought of?? and a few of the ladies on the lower side of the list should be higher up.
Well I Guess The Ranking On The List Goes By The Amount Of Followers One Has. KAT STACKS: She Ain’t Black! lol. And I’m SO Tired Of Our Race Embracing & Accepting People Who Not Only Don’t Respect Us, But ONLY Wanna Rock With Us When It’s Beneficial. No Other Ethnicity Allows Folks To Use Them As A Doormat & We Need To Pause It As Well.
-“The BklynBandette.”
Oops! My Bad! No It DOESN’T Go By The Number Of Followers. (Kanye Shrug)Then I Don’t Know.
-“The BklynBandette.”
Lol, hey you guys know I dont have a Twitter yet (so far behind right) what does the blue checkmark mean by their names? My girls are listed on there…Mya, Kyla and Star Jones
thats whats up
The Blue Check Marks Signify That The Person’s Page Is “VERIFIED”! A Lot Of People Have Set Up Fake Pages Pretending To Be Celebrities. So, If The Account Is “Verified”, That Lets You Know Its Really Them!
-“The BklynBandette.”
Thanks Bandette, your the bomb “VERIFIED” is whats up then
because all these tons and tons of fake profiles are the worst…which actually turned me off from wanting to set up any more social network pages…wayyyyy to many posers.
I’ll get around to it sooner or later because its a “MUST” for our tshirt line thats coming out.
