Panel: The Gift of Health in Communities of Color As women of color, we simply need to ask our aunts, mothers, grandmothers…or even look at ourselves to know that obesity-related illnesses like Type II diabetes and heart disease are issues in our communities. They are not only issues among adults, but it is estimated that 18% of all children and adolescents up to the age of 19 are overweight or obese, putting them at higher risk of developing chronic diseases and developing other complications as adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The good news is there is a lot we are already doing to change the conversation. Together we can do even more to stem this health epidemic in our communities both on social media and on the ground. Please come and hear from our expert panelists to be informed, inspired and empowered.

Panel Title: Finding the Positive in the Negative (dealing with trolls, hecklers, and haters): This session is about not letting the negativity in this industry inhibit, or worse halt your work. It’s a new understanding of negative comments, and trolls. It’s also a way to let negativity drive your work rather than force you into diluting it.

Jenny Isenman is a humorist and the first Jen Xpert (Gen X lifestyle expert). A cross between Chelsea Handler and Erma Bombeck and Richard Lewis. She looks at the ironies in everyday life and also gives advice on anti-aging, trends, health, fitness and fashion for people who remember the making of the Thriller video. Her ultimate goals are to make life easier for other moms and Gen Xers, and to keep herself sane.  Oh, and to teach dolphins to read. She’s pretty sure she’s failing at all three.

Jenny just finished taping a project with CafeMom called The Jenny Isenman Show,  She’s appeared nationally on the Today Show, Huff Post Live, and is a iVoice for iVillage.  She hosts bi-weekly local segments on NBC Miami called Jenny’s Got the Scoop, does segments for CBS Miami as well as FOX Naples.

A freelance writer by trade, she’s the humor columnist for South Florida Parenting Magazine (a Tribune Publication) and writes for multiple parenting sites. She’s a featured writer for Huffington Post’s Parents, Women, and Humor sections, YahooSHINE, Scary Mommy, and has a weekly column at The Stir titled “Did That Really Happen?”.

She’s called Jenny from the Blog at her award winning site: The Suburban Jungle. Jenny claims that reading it will make you smarter, tanner and reduces cellulite … at the very least it’ll keep you literate. 

You can find her on FB: ILoveTheSuburbanJungle Twitter: @SuburbanJungle Her Blog: The Suburban Jungle, or email her: Jenny@TheSuburbanJungle.com
