The blogging world’s biggest event of the year is just a few days away, and I’m excited to announce that I’ll be speaking at a couple sessions at the BlogHer ’12 Conference in New York City. There’s a lot of talk about the parties and the swag, but I’ll let you in on a little secret: the seminars are where it’s at. That’s where like-minded bloggers share tips on navigating the Internets, gaining more exposure, and improving their writing and photography skills.

Here’s the details on the programs I’ll be leading:

Honoring Your Culture, Celebrating Your Commonality

2:45pm-4pm

Do you write about issues that shine a light on your particular ethnic, religious, national or cultural identity? Do you share your stories in order to build bridges to a wider community? Join bloggers from a range of backgrounds who both celebrate their identity and write far beyond it. Discover how they make it work, personally, editorially, and professionally. I’ll be moderating a discussion with Carol Cain, Sabrina Enayatulla, and Kristin Russo. You can find more information at BlogHer.com
