#STB10 #DigitalSisterhood Wednesdays Rock Twitter!

I launched #STB10 #DigitalSisterhood Wednesdays on Twitter last week. I had no idea my social TV experiment for my next book Sisterhood the Blog would be embraced by so many women in social media.  Check out the Twitter feed from the October 13th and 20th parties below.  The October 20th party is still going strong today!

My favorite tweets were from the two ladies below.

Ananda’s Blogalicious 2010 Recap of Day #2 & Digital Sisterhood Audio Interviews with Women Bloggers – October 9, 2010

It’s hard to believe that Blogalicious 2010 was last week. I am still on my Blogalicious and digital sisterhood high! So I thought I would share a recap of what happened during Day #2. See below.

Me and Xina Eiland before yoga on the beach at Blogalicious

I started Day#2 of Blogalicious with yoga on the beach. My sistalove Takeyah Young, founder of Core Connection Lifestyle,  taught a juicy class on Miami Beach.  Xina and I had a great time. Check out the photos from the class below.

Me before yoga class at Blogalicious

Shannon Nash and Xina Eiland

Before the morning sessions began, I chatted with Shannon Nash, a Blogalicious 2010 speaker, and Xina.  I met Shannon last year at Blogalicious 2009. She is an amazing woman and speaker! The morning sessions included a great six-word memoir networking exercise. I love love love six-word memoirs.  I created two.

  • personal six-word memoir to describe myself – Michigan. DC. Esq. Author. Artist. Yogini.
  • Blogalicious six-word memoir – digital sisterhood. community. connection. collaboration. commerce. (will blog about this one later this weekend)

FYI – My six-word memoir was published in Smith Magazine’s It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure: Go Green BoHo BAP. Urban Debutante. I also used six-word memoirs as chapter titles in my new book That Which Awakens Me: A Creative Woman’s Poetic Memoir of Self-Discovery. Click here to watch my creativity coaching video on  six-word memoirs.  My coaching and yoga clients will also testify to my use of six-word memoirs with them.  Can you tell I am a six-word memoir fan?

James Andrews, co-founder of Everywhere

I was inspired by James Andrews’ keynote presentation on the relationship between social media and television. Check out the video of his presentation below (33 min – worth it!). James’ presentation convinced me to launch #STB10 #DigitalSisterhood Wednesdays on Twitter this week.  Click here to read the blog post and watch video.

I also used Cinchcast to interview James later in the afternoon. Click here to listen to the interview.  He is a very powerful brothalove who loves the same kind of music as me – Eric Roberson and Omar Sosa!

I spent the rest of the morning and afternoon interviewing women in social media about digital sisterhood on Cinchcast (see the audio blog interview links below)! Doing the interviews helped me connect with so many dynamic women in social media. See photos below.

My afternoon also included a visit to the Wine Sisterhood‘s Sassy Suite. What a place to visit! Why? They had a fabulous wine tasting for their Middle Sister wines. FYI – The Wine Sisterhood is one of my favorite social networking sites for women. They have such great information about women and wine! I hung out in the suite with my friends Boni, Rosemarie, Luvvie, Adria, Danica, Toni, and Deidre.  I also did a video interview for the Wine Sisterhood. See some of the photos below.

My hermana de alma Julie Diaz-Asper took me and our other hermana de alma Kety Esquivel to dinner with her family at Yuca, an amazing Cuban restaurant on Lincoln Road.  After dinner, we walked back to the Ritz with Julie and her daughters to attend the Blogalicious Beauty Bash.  We had so much with So In Style Barbie and dancing to the music of DJ James Andrews (yes he is a DJ too!).

 

Me with my Afro-Cuban Barbie - Kara Magdalena (I named her Magdalena and gave her an Afro-Cuban identity)

 

As you can see Day #2 of Blogalicious was blog-tastic! Stop by later this weekend for Day#3 recap and other Blogalicious blogs.

Calling All Women in Social Media! Join Ananda’s 10/13 Twitter Launch of #STB10 #DigitalSisterhood Wednesdays.

On the last day of Blogalicious 2010, I recorded a video about my 10/13 Twitter launch of #STB10 #DigitalSisterhood Wednesdays. Click on the link to watch the video: http://vimeo.com/15741180.
#STB10 #DigitalSisterhood Wednesdays will give women in social media a weekly opportunity to build and strengthen their communities. Each week women will be encouraged to celebrate and promote their digital sisters by using the #FF (Friday Follow) format to list their digital sisters’ Twitter IDs. Women will also be encouraged to tweet about their digital sisters’ businesses, wisdom, creativity, blogs, Facebook pages, causes, videos, web sites, etc.

#STB10 is a hashtag that refers to Sisterhood the Blog 2010. I developed it to track my Twitter conversations, DC-based focus groups, and online radio shows about her Sisterhood the Blog book project. Sisterhood the Blog is a memoir about my Internet experiences from 1986 to 2011. I include how women on the Internet have influenced and inspired my life. I am using the information collected on Twitter as research for my book project. Click here to learn about the book project and Kickstarter fundraiser: kck.st/avHVlu.

Remember to use the #STB10 and #DigitalSisterhood hashtags on October 13 and every Wednesday thereafter.

Follow me on Twitter to track all of the great #STB10 #DigitalSisterhood sharing on Wednesdays: http://twitter.com/anandaleeke.

Thank you for your support!

One of my favorite Blogalicious 2010 moments was watching CNN journalist Soledad O’Brien use Skype to share her thoughts with conference attendees during the October 10th morning session. Very powerful and funny at times. Click on link to watch the video:  http://vimeo.com/15739893.

Ananda’s Blogalicious 2010 Recap of Day #1 – October 8, 2010

Blogalicious 2010 was AMAZING! 275 people registered to attend the three-day weekend conference held on October 8 to October 10 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Miami Beach.  Yes it was on the beach and the weather was YUMMY! Check me out chill-axing in the lobby of the Ritz (see photo below)! It was relaxing, spa-like, luxurious, and beautiful all day and night long!  The Ritz staff was great! I could actually live there! Does it show that I am a Ritz fan and aficionado?

I arrived in Miami on October 7. My flight was a late one. Mis hermanas de alma (soul sisters) Xina Eiland and Kety Esquivel picked me up from the Miami International Airport.  The first night Xina and I stayed in the Marriott. We had a free room due to her Marriott points.  It had an ocean view. So we slept with the terrace sliding door open to get the Miami Beach energy and ocean sounds all night long. It was juicy and relaxing.  The next morning Xina and I got up really early and checked into the Ritz before the first general session of Blogalicious began.

 

Me and Xina at Blogalicious PM reception on 10/8 - spent afternoon at pool chill-axing!

While sitting in the lobby waiting for the registration desk to open, I used Cinchcast to give a pre-conference audio blog update. Click on link to listen: http://www.cinchcast.com/anandaleeke/99926.  After I finished my audio blog I met one of my favorite bloggers Onica, founder of Europhoria Luv.  We chatted for a few minutes before I asked her to do an interview about her blog, why she came to Blogalicious,  and her definition of digital sisterhood.  Click on link to listen:   http://www.cinchcast.com/anandaleeke/99929.

 

Me and Onica

 

Before the general session began I met one of my favorite Twitter digital sisters Jewel of The Tiny Jewel Box.  We hit it off immediately and ended up sitting at the same table with Xina during breakfast.  During our breakfast conversation, I learned Jewel is a DC native with an amazing sense of humor and style!  Jewel  allowed me to interview her about her blog and digital sisterhood. Click on link to listen to Jewel’s interview:  http://www.cinchcast.com/anandaleeke/99939.

I thoroughly enjoyed the morning sessions on women of color in marketing, networking, and Latinas in social media. The open-mic lunch that Xina and I co-moderated was soulful and filled with digital sisterhood love. Click on link to listen to my audio blog update: http://www.cinchcast.com/anandaleeke/99985.

The first day of Blogalicious was really special because I connected with new friends and reconnected with old friends. See the photos below.

Xina and I headed to the pool after lunch and chilled out in the warm Miami sun for a few hours.  We made it to the evening reception at the Ritz’s beach club.  That was a lot of fun! During the reception, Ronnie and Lamar Tyler of BlackandMarried.com interviewed me for their Be Blogalicious documentary.  I’m looking forward to seeing the film.

Xina loves Miami and has been many times. So she suggested we walk down the famous Lincoln Road for dinner at Sushi Siam.  Yummy yummy yummy! See the photo below.

I ended the evening at Kindred Family Soul’s concert and the Parranda! party.  The first day of Blogalicious 2010 was a bloggy blast! Come back later this week for more posts on my Blogalicious 2010 adventures.

Latinos in Social Media featured on Blogatique with Ananda Leeke on BlogTalkRadio on October 5

I honored National Hispanic Heritage Month on October 5 with a conversation about Latinos in Social Media (LATISM) and the Latina Bloguera Survey on my BlogTalkRadio show – Blogatique with Ananda Leeke.  My guests were Elianne Ramos, LATISM Vice-Chair, Communications and PR, and Julie Diaz Asper, LATISM Chief Research Officer.  Elianne and Julie are mis hermanas de alma (soul sistas!).  We met during LATISM’s DC conference in December 2009.  We have reconnected at DC events and BlogHer in NYC.

Sisterhood the Blog Radio on October 4: Nonprofit and Social Justice Women Who Use Social Media

It’s been a busy and juicy week for me. My focus has been on women in social media.  Monday night was fantastic because I hosted Sisterhood the Blog Radio’s Talkshoe.com show on how women marry their social justice, social entrepreneurial, and/or nonprofit work with social media. I was joined by a powerful group of nonprofit and social justice digital divas.  They included:

Sisterhood the Blog 10/3/10 Focus Group on How Women Marry Their Social Justice, Social Entrepreneurial & Nonprofit Work with Social Media

007, originally uploaded by anandaleeke.

My October started with a blast of women in social media events. On October 3, I moderated Sisterhood the Blog’s focus group on how women marry their social justice, social entrepreneurial, and/or nonprofit work to do good with social media on October 3, 2010, at Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, DC. Guest panelists included:

•Maaden Eshete, Co-founder of Divas, MPH – http://divasmph.org;

•Regina Holliday, Medical advocacy muralist – http://reginaholliday.blogspot.com;

•Shannon Lynberg, Co-founder of Hollaback DC! – http://hollabackdc.wordpress.com;

•Tracy Chiles McGhee, Founder of Womanifesting, Inc. – http://womanifesting.org;

•Megan Pagado, Marketing and events manager for the Arts and Humanities County of Montgomery County, arts advocate, and graphic design “dabbler” – www.creativemoco.com and http://meganpagado.magntize.com;

•Pamela Pressley, Founder and publisher of The Cotillion Online – www.thecotilliononline.com;

•Chai Shenoy, Co-founder of Hollaback DC! and gender-based activist – http://hollabackdc.wordpress.com;

•Tracey Webb, Founder of Black Gives Back and Black Benefactors – www.blackgivesback.com and www.blackbenefactors.org.

We had a great time chatting about so many aspects of our work! I learned so many things from these dynamic digital divas. Look for video clips from the focus group in a few weeks. In the meantime, check out the Flickr photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anandaleeke/sets/72157624964368519.
