As every blogger knows, being inspired is the key to creating quality content. And as a busy working mom, I definitely get in slumps when in comes to blogging and am always looking for new inspiration to get me back on track. Events like the upcoming WeCapella on May 6th are exactly what this mama needs….

WeCapella is a live event showcasing the work of some of Vancouver’s best content producers and digital influencers. Using examples from their work and personal experience, the speakers will share with us their methods in creating meaningful and innovative content, with the intent to inspire us all to create positive and impactful content for our audiences.
