Hear from one of the co-founders of Her Campus, the largest network for college women in the United States, and hear how she took the ultimate leap of faith and built her own media empire.

Creating community isn’t easy, but it pays off. At City Awake, we’re dedicated to giving the region’s young professionals genuine opportunities to connect and form a commitment to Boston. Our next Lunches on Leadership features Stephanie Kaplan Lewis, a true community-builder in her own right. 

Founded in 2009 by Stephanie Kaplan Lewis, Annie Wang, and Windsor Hanger Western, the trio of Harvard graduates created what is arguably the ultimate college guide, written for women, by women. The media and marketing company has become the online destination for women to read and connect with each other on style, health, love, friendships, as well as a place for college women interested in journalism to build their careers.

Stephanie will sit down with Meghan Kelly, Associate at Nutter and member of our City Awake Advisory Board, for an open conversation about building a business (and brand) from the ground up, balancing her roles as media mogul and new-mom, and what’s next for Her Campus Media. Secure your seat today and don’t miss your chance to hear from this industry trailblazer!

What are our Lunches on Leadership?

Lunches on Leadership are an opportunity for you to get in the room and break bread with some of Boston’s most influential. Roughly 30 of us will gather together to hear a few lessons from someone with a compelling background and an exciting future. More importantly, you’ll get a chance to really get to know these speakers with dedicated time for your Q&A.
