Guests who attend the SheKnows Media community meet-ups proceeding or following Listen To Your Mother shows will enjoy an interactive, fiesta-themed experience, where SheKnows "Experts" will be on hand to share how to use traditional and unique ingredients to make the perfect margarita and mojito, guacamole dip, stuffed tamale or street taco. The DIY theme at each community meet-up is a nod to Experts Among Us, SheKnows Media's leading influencer platform. It's also the theme of #BlogHer15: Experts Among Us. Now in its 11th year, #BlogHer15: Experts Among Us seeks to inspire and empower women to express themselves and their unique points of view through content creation. More than 3,500 content creators, social media influencers, entrepreneurs, brand executives and industry luminaries are expected to attend this year's event, co-produced for the first time by SheKnows Media and BlogHer. "Giving women a supportive environment to connect with one another and to create and share content about their passion points and expertise is core to our mission of women inspiring women," said Samantha Skey, SheKnows Media's Chief Revenue Officer.

Ann Imig, Listen To Your Mother's Founder and National Director, will once again host an Open Mic after-party following the Voices of the Year community keynote and ceremony at #BlogHer15: Experts Among Us. "The annual BlogHer event in 2009 was a defining moment for me and served as the springboard for Listen To Your Mother, which I founded to give a voice to motherhood after being inspired by a Voices of the Year community keynote," Imig said. "I am honored to have a role at #BlogHer15: Experts Among Us, and thrilled to offer a piece of that amazing experience to our talented content creators, producers and fans in several cities throughout the 2015 Listen To Your Mother tour."
