HerKentucky is a collective of six women bloggers who love our beautiful, diverse Commonwealth. As we began planning our blog, we found that each of our experiences and tastes were shaped by the Kentucky regions where we'd lived. We talked about the geography and customs of our hometowns, and how Kentucky symbols held various roles in our culture -- horses symbolize the racing lifestyle to some of us, and are farm animals to others. In some of our hometowns, bourbon is a way of life; in others, it's forbidden. As we talked, we realized that, for each of us, "my Kentucky" means something different...

And so we --Cristina, Emily, (a.k.a. Skinny Emmie), Heather, Hunter,Megan, and Sarah-- welcome you to HerKentucky!

We look forward to sharing our experiences and starting a dialogue about Kentucky with all of you.

Cheers!
