Among the 50 sites included in the new network-which Glam claims in aggregate reachs 4 million unique users-are Shake Your Beauty, Afrobella and The Fashion Bomb. To lead Glam Black Life, the company has tapped current Glam Beauty Editor India-Jewel Jackson to oversee all original editorial content, while Tamera Reynolds, formerly of Sahara Media’s Honey Magazine, will serve as director of the network. In addition, former BET director of national sales Asten Morgan Jr. will head up national sales efforts for new venture.
