SheKnows Media Goes on the Road to Honor Women Content Creators across the U.S. Leading Up to #BlogHer15: Experts Among Us in July in NYC
SheKnows
Media, the number-one women's lifestyle digital media company1
with 81.5 million unique visitors per month2 and 162 million
social media fans and followers, today announced that it is hosting five
community meet-ups over the course of the next two months in cities
across the United States to celebrate women content creators.
These community meet-ups in advance of #BlogHer15:
Experts Among Us, the world's largest celebration of women
content creators taking place July 16-18 at the Hilton New York, will be
hosted in connection with Listen
To Your Mother shows in the following cities:
-
Brooklyn, New York on April 8
-
Atlanta on April 24
-
Chicago on May 3
-
San Francisco on May 8
-
Boston on May 9
Listen To Your Mother - sponsored in part by SheKnows Media - is a
series of live, nationally recognized storytelling shows in 39 cities
that feature readings by local writers on mothers and motherhood in the
weeks leading up to Mother's Day on May 10. Guests who attend the
SheKnows Media community meet-ups proceeding or following Listen To Your
Mother shows will enjoy an interactive, fiesta-themed experience, where
SheKnows "Experts" will be on hand to share how to use traditional and
unique ingredients to make the perfect margarita and mojito, guacamole
dip, stuffed tamale or street taco.
The DIY theme at each community meet-up is a nod to Experts
Among Us, SheKnows Media's leading influencer platform. It's also
the theme of #BlogHer15:
Experts Among Us. Now in its 11th year, #BlogHer15:
Experts Among Us seeks to inspire and empower women to express
themselves and their unique points of view through content creation.
More than 3,500 content creators, social media influencers,
entrepreneurs, brand executives and industry luminaries are expected to
attend this year's event, co-produced for the first time by SheKnows
Media and BlogHer.
"Giving women a supportive environment to connect with one another and
to create and share content about their passion points and expertise is
core to our mission of women inspiring women," said Samantha Skey,
SheKnows Media's Chief Revenue Officer. "We look forward to bringing
that to life at these community meet-ups, as well as at #BlogHer15:
Experts Among Us."
Elisa (News - Alert) Camahort Page, SheKnows Media's Senior Vice President,
Community Content & Events, added, "We want to give our local
community members, business leaders, influencers and the Listen To Your
Mother content creators in cities across the U.S. a taste of what they
can expect at #BlogHer15: Experts Among Us. BlogHer, now part of
SheKnows Media, has supported the show since its inception as a true
success story and wonderful representation of everything our events are
about: Celebrating organizations and individuals who take huge strides
to amplify women's voices, and inspiring the next great voices in our
community."
Ann Imig, Listen To Your Mother's Founder and National Director,
will once again host an Open Mic after-party following the Voices of the
Year community keynote and ceremony at #BlogHer15: Experts Among Us.
"The annual BlogHer event in 2009 was a defining moment for me and
served as the springboard for Listen To Your Mother, which I founded to
give a voice to motherhood after being inspired by a Voices of the Year
community keynote," Imig said. "I am honored to have a role at
#BlogHer15: Experts Among Us, and thrilled to offer a piece of that
amazing experience to our talented content creators, producers and fans
in several cities throughout the 2015 Listen To Your Mother tour."
