I got to meet Michael Skolnik! If you don't know, he's the Editor-In-Chief for Global Grind and he's the Political Director to Russell Simmons. I've read his work and seen him speak on CNN several times, but never in person.
Last week, I went to an event with my friend Kendall at the Carter Center in Atlanta called CNN Dialogues. It's part of a series of panel discussions on topics dealing with race, religion, and social change. I love hearing the opinions of others and hearing great discussions on important issues (that's the political nerd in me). So I loved this event!
This CNN Dialogue was titled: Modern Marchers: Lessons from the Front Lines of Social Change
I'll let you know when the next one is happening in Atlanta!
Have you been to a similar event?
It is always great when you can meet someone that you think a lot of and get to ask a few questions... :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting! I haven't been to an event like this before, but I really want to go to the Blogher conference next year!
