The Black Girl Digital Awards celebrates and recognises underrepresented content creators who make a significant impact through brand partnerships and community engagement on their platforms. With 40 distinct awards, Atlanta-based fashion blogger and influencer Monica Awe-Etuk, better known as Awed by Moni, emerged as the Gen X Influencer of the Year Award winner.
For the past 12 years, Moni has consistently built a brand around fashion with starting off as a fashion blogger to building a fashion community called ‘AWE-Stars’ where she shares all her fashion finds and fashion knowledge with passion.
She announced the win on her Instagram with the caption,
Still in shock, still letting it all sink in. After 12 years of showing up, pouring my heart into this journey, and celebrating every small victory, winning @blackgirldigital ’s Gen X Influencer of the Year award is beyond fulfilling. I’ve always believed in the power of my work, but to be recognized by my peers—it’s a different kind of joy. To my AWE-Stars, and everyone who has cheered me on through it all, this moment belongs to us. Here’s to resilience, to community, and to many more years of showing up and shining bright!
