HumanizeHer IRL: 3rd Annual HumanizeHer Celebration

In this live episode celebrating our 3rd Annual HumanizeHer Celebration, Founder and Podcast Host Erica Lockheimer reflects on the podcast's growth - from 2,000 YouTube Subscribers to over 165,000 YouTube Subscribers and 2 million monthly platform views and more importantly 59 stories told - highlighting HumanizeHer's mission to elevate women's stories, foster real community, and support women on their journeys of defining success on their own terms.

Erica leads a very special panel discussion, featuring 3 podcast guests who share their journeys of purpose, resilience, and taking bold leaps:

💠 Dana A. Griffin (Founder of Eldera.ai): Discusses building an AI platform that connects younger adults and youth with elder mentors to fight the loneliness epidemic and foster intergenerational connection.

💠 Sumer Strawbree (17-year-old Entrepreneur & Artist): Shares how she overcame bullying at age 12 to create positive affirmation coloring books aimed at boosting young girls' self-esteem and saving lives.

💠 Torrey Van Winden (Pro Beach Volleyball Player & 2028 Olympic hopeful): Details stepping away from corporate to pursue her Olympic dream and advocate for better financial equity and support for women in sports.

The episode includes a surprise moment, introducing our inaugural HumanizeHer Community Recognition Awards for key mentors and supporters of the HumanizeHer movement:

🌟 Florina Xhabija Grosskurth

🌟 Mauria Finley

🌟 Shalini Agarwal

This event would not have been as special without a surprise unboxing of the YouTube Silver Creator Award gifted to the entire HumanizeHer Crew, and a heartfelt team celebration acknowledging the crew that powers the movement. And of course - seeing our community come together for an evening of connection, purpose, and celebration.

Huge thank you to our event sponsors:
