Guess what’s coming in July? The second annual celebration of Digital Citizenship Month. This year’s theme is “Use Your Digital Citizenship Voice.” During the 31-day celebration, digital citizens will be invited to participate in the My #DigCitizenVoice Campaign, a digital storytelling effort that uses Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter to share how they use their digital voice to empower themselves and their communities. DC meet ups, radio show interviews with digital citizenship thought leaders and activists, and Twitter chats, will be held. One hundred people will be honored as Digital Citizens of the Year.

Throwback Thursday: #BlogHer14 #MultiCulti Party Memories
Happy Throwback Thursday!
Today, I’m reminiscing about the fun I had last year co-producing and co-hosting the second annual MultiCulti Party with my Digital Sisters Pauline Campos and Dwana De La Cerna at the 10th annual BlogHer conference held in San Jose, California.
Pauline and Dwana are two of the best people to work with. Their brilliant and creative ideas coupled with their commitment to celebrating diversity in the BlogHer community make them a joy to work with!
We thoroughly enjoyed meeting our BlogHer family. Check out some of the event photos below.
My favorites moments happened while I was greeting our guests and welcoming them to the party with a smile and free drink tickets. In those moments, I had a chance to connect one-on-one with people as we took pictures together and shared why we came to BlogHer and our passion for blogging. Their stories inspired and reminded me how beautiful, brilliant, creative, and diverse our BlogHer community is!
Guess what? Pauline, Dwana, and I are in the process of planning the third annual Multi Culti Party that will be held at the #BlogHer15 Conference on July 16 from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at the Hilton in New York City.
Follow us on Instagram and Twitter for updates in the coming days and weeks: @justdwana, @pauline_campos, and @anandaleeke. Use the hashtags #BlogHer15, #MultiCulti, and #MultiCulti15. We hope to see you in NYC!
