Viral moments are like lightning in a bottle; most of the time, you’re just churning out messaging that you hope will reach and appeal to a wide range of prospective donors.

I told the conference co-founders, a husband and wife literary agent team, Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsen , that I'd help to spread the word about the conference so I interviewed Elizabeth for the Big Vision Podcast.

"I think that people have long associated feminism with older white women and the idea of bringing that back to women of color, and bringing it back to young women of color and asking them what it means is an exciting time for me."
