About Me: 

Welcome! On behalf of the entire community and my co-founders Elisa Camahort, Jory Des Jardins, welcome to  BlogHer.com. As BlogHer's co-founder and CEO, I work across our community of bloggers and sponsors to create opportunities for women who blog to gain additional community, exposure, education and economic empowerment. Before I became I blogger, I was a journalist and media strategist. I've written for The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Oakland Tribune, Publisher's Weekly and Frommer's, among other publications. I've launched blog networks and interactive programming for many national brands, including Hearst and Rodale magazines, E! Television/Online, HBO's Sex and the City, Knight Ridder Digital, American Lawyer Media and Glam Media.  I regularly speak about why women are the power users of Web 2.0 (and beyond) and the extraordinary citizen journalism many women and men commit online every day.

I'm a working mother who was a single parent for six years until I met Christopher Carfi (@ccarfi on Twitter). Now our Brady Bunch has three kids, two dogs and I still believe balance is baloney. Do what you love, the laundry is secondary. For more on me and my work, I invite you to visit my personal blog. I look forward to meeting you around this site.

      Best,

 

      Lisa
