Unstoppable Girl Power!!!
- Hanging with some of Chicago’s top bloggers ahead of BlogHer ’09. (These are amazing women!)
As if my family and Anchor/Reporter job at Fox Chicago didn’t keep me busy enough, here I am spending my day off blogging! Well, I just can’t help myself after meeting and getting to know many of the women pictured above. They are moms, entrepreneurs and businesswomen – part of a far more influential tech community in Chicago than you may think. For me, they’ve been pure inspiration and, perhaps, the sisters I never had.
My tech mentors have taught me to use social media far more effectively. I now approach my news assignments differently and I’ve surprised myself with my ability to multi-task while reporting from the field and anchoring in the studio.
There are others on the internet who’ve guided and encouraged me but here’s to some of the amazing women who’ve pushed me to make this blog a reality and to grow in new ways. Get to know them, too. Who knows what they may inspire you to do!
(In no particular order)
Beth Rosen, Sarah Evans, Liz Strauss, MJ Tam, Barbara Rozgonyi, Hope Bertram, Wendy Piersall, Jackie Cuyvers, Carrie Kirby, Duong Sheahan, Kim Moldofsky, Amy Ravit Korin, Lisa Martin, Allison Worthington.
You are doing a great job at multi-tasking, Nancy!
I liked this post a lot.
Nancy, be careful allowing all of those women on set with you. In this day of belt tightening in the news business, they could all be offered anchor jobs.
Nice beginning for your site. It amazes me that you can manage so many things at the same time. Lots of energy, I guess.
Thanks for so graciously welcoming us into your studio and giving us a look at the set behind the scenes, Nancy! You are so graceful and natural on and off the camera. Congratulations on beginning your blog! Looking forward to following your stories here as well as at @nancyloo on twitter and on Fox Chicago.

Seriously, how fun was that?
Pretending to be Nancy Loo was a highlight of my BlogHer week!
Hi Nancy, thanks so much for having us to visit the studio. The behind the scenes tour was great but what truly made it was your candor and your conversation with us. Thanks again. I look forward to watching you both on Fox Chicago, here and on Twitter – you’re one multitasking maven. Kudos! Jackie @jackiecuyvers
Looking forward to your blog. I have you in my reader!
Hi Nancy, I’m a mom and a Chicago blogger too. Too bad I missed the party on your set and hope to meet you at a Chicago blogging meet up soon. I’m always looking for interesting (and busy) moms for my inspiring mom’s club on my site…let me know if you may be interested.
Thanks for the great tour and chat. I’m so impressed by your energy and intelligence. Also, it’s nice to know at least some in the media have nice things to say about mombloggers!
Congratulations on your new blog…your such a social media superstar and one of the most honest and true people I know. It was such a pleasure to be able to pull such a wonderful and meaningful event together. Many of the women involved mentioned to me that the time they spent with you was the best part of the whole blogher weekend. You were so giving of your time, and made us all feel so welcome.
I look forward to your new blog posts and following all the exciting stories you cover. Once again from the bottom of my heart thank you..
Beth

I’m so honored to know you and have you as a dear friend. You are one of my most trusted women and friend. I look forward to following you on your blog and see you often as we journey through the Digital World together. Can’t wait to have you as my GUEST for a Digital Girlfriends event!
Congratulations Nancy! There you go again inspiring me! I had so much fun meeting you and party hopping with you, Liz Strauss, Beth Rosen, and Duong Sheahan and others at BlogHer. What a blessing to have you in my life, my new friend. Great job on the new blog! — Carole
