10/9/2009, 2009 Blogalicious Conference

Atlanta, Georgia
Role: Attendee

Your blog is an expression of you. It’s an outlet to voice your feelings and opinions; a place to share your hopes and dreams. It’s your very own medium used to recount your personal stories and to vent your frustrations. Part of what makes blogging so enjoyable is the ability to connect with other bloggers and to become friends with someone by virtue of this shared experience. Now, imagine a getaway – just for us women of color – that combines all of the things that you love about blogging with the added element of face-to-face interactions and the intimacy of “IRL” relationships. At BLOGALICIOUS 2009, You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, you’ll let your hair down. It will be just like blogging…only better. For details, link here: http://www.blogaliciousweekend.com
