It is Thursday, October 17. And I am so happy to be back with you guys for our first official fall episode of "Teal Talk." I can't believe it's fall, y'all. I am Jenny Guy. I'm Mediavine's Marketing Manager and your host today. How is everyone doing? It's been a while since we talked. And it is now Q4, which is the quarter I feel like we all talk about until it is here. And then everything is so insane during that time, with all the personal stuff, that business is hard to come by. So basically, it's already 2020, if anyone was wondering. It's the end of the year. It's a new decade. But to get to the matter at hand today, I have got a super impressive lineup of guests with me today. As you can see, we're doing three guests. And they're all incredible. They took a break from being industry leaders to talk about a topic that is near, dear, and very important to all of our hearts. We are talking about diversity, inclusion, and access within the blogging industry today. I'm going to introduce our guests. But just to remind you, first, thank you for being here with us. Second, if you've got questions for us and the panel, please feel free to just post them in the comments. And we will make sure to get those asked. So lots to cover today. I want to introduce everyone. First, I'm going to start with Beth Santos. She is the founder and CEO of Wanderful, a global community and lifestyle brand that specializes in helping all women travel the world. Wanderful reaches a diverse audience of over 100 million each year through chapter events in 50 cities, an international home-sharing network, which is super cool, global summits, and small group trips-- a thriving membership community and dynamic online content and forums. She is the creator and host of the Women In Travel Summit-- which I've been to twice, it's amazing-- a leading event for women, travel creators, and industry, happening on two continents each year, and co-founder of hashtag At The Table, a national dinner series and community for female founders. She lives in Boston. Hi, Beth. Thank you so much for joining us today. BETH SANTOS: Hi, Jenny. Thanks for having me. JENNY GUY: Absolutely. All right. Our next wonderful woman, TaKenya Hampton is the blogger behind Kenya Rae, an online food and DIY outlet where good food doesn't take all day. And it sounds like some food is ready now, maybe, in someone's microwave. I don't know. Could be something delicious. Dessert could be its own meal. And dessert is also in a war with breakfast for the meal of the day. She has been in the blogging space since 2011 and watched it go through many changes. She also serves as a resource to fellow bloggers on the Mediavine Publisher Support team. Hi, Kenya. Welcome.
