I was thrilled to be the keynote speaker at the Blogalicious 2009 conference, held at the W-Atlanta Hotel. This very special conference was created to provide women bloggers of all colours, creeds, nationalities and backgrounds the opportunity to celebrate their diversity, social media, and of course, their love for blogging.
I spoke "The Beauty of Different," and it was an absolute blast. Thanks to the amazing organizers for a spectacular time.
You can see the beginning of the speech below.

I spoke as a part of the Community Keynote of BlogHer '09 in the beautiful city of Chicago, Illinois, reading Reflections on why the election of President Barack Obama affected me so deeply. In addition, I co-hosted a Room of Your Own session entitled "Women of Color and Marketing," along with the wonderful Heather Barmore, Stefania Butler, and Kelly Wickham. It was an amazing time.

On July 5, 2009, the New York Times used a screen capture from Momversation of my face, frozen while talking about whether I consider myself a feminist. The capture was used as the main image of their article, Rise of Web Video, Beyond 2-Minute Clips (both online and print).
My husband Marcus called the expression on my face, "constipated, but pensive." Personally, I'm just happy that my first appearance in the New York Times was for good, and not evil.
