It's been way too long since the last time we ventured in to the wide world of feminist media together, so I want to start off by saying.... I promise I'll make it up to you.
Mark your calendars, because this month we celebrate the 2nd Annual WAM! It Yourself Los Angeles conference, and with it, the 1 year anniversary of LAFemmedia!
One year ago this weekend, I wondered in to a little seminar being led by one my favorite online feminist bloggers, Feminist Fatale, and my eyes were opened to the beauty of the on-line feminist community. Speakers such as Anita Sarkeesian (Feminist Frequency) and Melanie Klein turned me to on to the idea of starting my own forum to discuss feminist media events - or lack thereof - in my beloved Los Angeles.
Throughout all of the discussions, I was most moved by the A in WAM!. Action. Actively participating in the media empowers us all to chose what messages drive the tone of our social culture. I am proud to be a part of that conversation, and I urge you to stop by and support other on-line feminist activists.
The WAM! It Yourself Los Angeles 2011 Conference is happening this Friday, March 25th and Saturday, March 26 at Santa Monica College in Santa Monica.
