You might recall a few months back that I was going to be part of a group of amazing bloggers who were planning to do a session at the 2009 BlogHer conference on body image titled, “Blogs & Body Image: What Are We Teaching Our Kids?”

The group was selected (yea!!) and even got sponsorship by Dove … but because I registered too late this spring, I can’t participate. 😦

That said, I still want to promote the hell out of this session (to be held this Friday in Chicago) because I know it’s going to be incredible, and I am so proud of these girls for getting out there and truly making a difference.

In this post, MamaVision talked a little about the panelists and the group’s mission.

Take a peek at our new body image activist blog, We Are the Real Deal. You can check out our mission here. 

I will be joining the others posting here after BlogHer (they’re all on the schedule and since I’m not, my content/info will go live next week).
