"Listen to Your Mother" aims to support motherhood creatively through artistic expression, and also financially–through contributions to non-profit organizations supporting families in need. To date, LTYM has raised over $25,000 for local causes! For 2014, we are beyond thrilled to donate a portion (10% minimum) of our ticket proceeds from each show, fund-raise day of show and build-awareness through our social media efforts for the causes pictured above.
Want to buy tickets, meet the cast, or learn more about your local LTYM show? Look for updates on your local site , like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter so you don't miss any LTYM news.
Returning National Media Sponsor BlogHer Turns 10! The first inspiration for LTYM occurred when Founder Ann Imig attended her first BlogHer conference in Chicago in 2009, and sat rapt during the Community Keynote (now called "Voices of The Year" or #VOTY). Knowing BlogHer's commitment and passion for bringing this community of online women to life, when Ann decided to take the leap and expand LTYM nationally, she approached BlogHer. BlogHer jumped in to support the project as our National Media Sponsor, and returns for as our National Media Sponsor for a fourth season.
This summer BlogHer turns 10 and they've designed the conference with more community moments than ever before!
Returning community events include:
The 7th annual Voices of the Year...now with Photos of the Year as well! (Will be announced week of April 28)
The 3rd annual BlogHer Fashion Show
The community parties...a place to relax and hang out with your tribe...or support another tribe [LTYM will return with its 4th annual BlogHer Open Mic!]
New for 2014:
Birds of a Feather Mini-Cons: From the Future of Personal Blogging to the Business of Style Blogging, the mini-cons will let you do a deep dive surrounded by your peers
And of course the 10x10 Project: Every keynote will be preceded by members of the community talking about the past 10 years and the next 10 years for this diverse community of amazing creatives!
Mentorship: BlogHer is working on rolling out a next level Newbie-Veteran mentorship program to make the first-time BlogHer attendee experience even more comfortable, fun, and rewarding.
