We’re back from NYC feeling inspired and we’re kicking off our NYC interviews with two inspiring women: Jenny Lakin, Assistant Director of Food and Beverages at the Made Hotel in NYC, and Kate Schaefer, the Editor-in-Chief and Founder of the H&H Wedding Blog.
You might be wondering what these two very different careers have in common? Both women share a passion to create inclusion. Jenny shares her story entering the food and beverage industry and the realities of being a woman in a male-dominated workspace, while Kate shares her journey to create one of the first LGBTQ wedding blog/resources to fill the void for those seeking vendors and resources.
Jenny discusses how she combines culture, food and inclusivity into her work, while Kate shares the behind the scenes of running a blog and the sweaty, tedious behind the scenes of the beautiful website we see. This episode is full of gems like how we can be more inclusive, the ins and outs of web development, becoming an influencer, building an authentic + meaningful presence online, vetting followings, and the importance of and desire to make a difference in the world.
