Founder

Whitney L. Barkley has been a skinny black girl her entire life. Before accepting her body in her early 20s, Whitney suffered from self-esteem and health issues that affected her perception of her body.

 

Whitney launched the Skinny Black Girl's Code in 2014 to bring awareness to self-esteem and body image issues of black women who do not fit the society norm of having a "coke bottle" or "thick" shape.
 

She currently lives with her husband Jerome in Cincinnati, OH and is a millennial career blogger and creator of thewritegirlblog.com. Connect with Whitney on twitter: @TheWriteGirl_
