I am positively thrilled to announce that I will be a faculty member at the biannual Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop at the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio.  The workshop is designed for humour and human interest writers. If you're such a writer, and you're looking to get published, I hope you'll join me, along with the amazing faculty members who will be presenting.  Registration opens December 1st, 2009, and if history is any teacher, it will sell out quickly, so mark your calendars.

blogher '09, july 24-25 2009, the chicago sheraton & towers

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.

You can see the speech in its entirety here.

screen capture in the new york times!

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.
