Sanaa Lathan’s ‘Fashion Passion’ Pinterest Board is One to Watch

Posted byBy Tracy | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Just weeks after joining in the latest trend of celebrities on Pinterest, actress Sanaa Lathan‘s  “Fashion Passion” board has been “pinned” as one to follow on Pinterest’s New York Fashion Week Hub.

The new hub, launched by Pinterest just one week before the New York fashion event, features images and videos from several high-profile partners across fashion and media.

Pinterest partnered with over 100 influencers to populate pinterest.com/fashionweek and Lathan’s  “Fashion Passion” board will appear among the other high profile fashion influencers, including  Rachel Zoe, Tracee Ellis Ross, Huffington Post Style, Oscar de la Renta and Kate Spade.

Lathan ((The Best Man Holiday) is new to the world of pinning, however in a few short weeks she has acquired an impressive 13,000 plus followers. Exhibiting boards that feature photos from her film projects, her travels, classic photos of other Hollywood stars, and her love for food and shoes, Lathan’s social media popularity continues to tip the scales as one of the most socially watched celebrities.

The fame of Lathan’s latest social networking endeavor should come as no surprise. According to Facebook metrics, Lathan’s Facebook fan page, with 2.7 million fans, consistently ranks in the top five for celebrity female engagement. The Facebook engagement index is determined by evaluating the “People Talking About This” (PTAT) metric, an important number that emphasizes interactions beyond an initial Facebook “Like.”

Most celebrities who have accumulated a large number of fans underperform in the area of engagement. Lathan’s posts consistently generate millions of impressions thereby placing her at the top of the chart.

During the week of Aug. 9, Lathan was ranked No. 1 in Facebook celebrity female engagement, surpassing Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna and even Beyonce.

It is Lathan’s high fan engagement that has captured the attention of the social media experts to join the likes of Michael Kors as a featured influencer on the Pinterest New York Fashion Week Hub, confirming that Sanaa continues to make her mark both on screen and off.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
