industry executives and thought leaders. Seeking to inspire and empower
attendees to express themselves and their unique points of view through
content creation, the SheKnows Media-produced conference culminates in
Voices of the Year – a celebration of the most inspiring voices and
innovative content creators across the web. This year, Voices of the
Year will take place the evening of June 24, and will showcase a wide
range of memorable, heart-stopping, brilliant, humorous and impactful
works.

the authenticity and passion we strive to nurture through Voices of the
Year. Her remarkable experience and personal story have inspired and
empowered so many to raise their voices and make a positive impact. As
such, we are thrilled to welcome her to the stage this year, where we’ll
honor the most moving stories created by our talented #BlogHer community
that have pushed us to feel more, think more, share more and laugh more.”
