Leading Moms: Sandra Heusel on Daring to Dream
On October 3, 2012 VancouverMom.ca joined forced with our friends at Modern Mama and Entrepreneur Mom Now Vancouver to present Leading Moms. It was a day of inspiration, featuring moms who are making a difference in fashion, culture, politics, business, the arts, science, media, and a whole lot of other areas. We were treated to talks, videos, musical performances and a fashion show. We ate breakfast inside, and we ate lunch outside in the sunshine. We were energized and motivated by the whole experience.
