What I learned about race at BlogHer14 - Many of the bloggers and writers I met at BlogHer14, the tenth annual blogging conference sponsored by the BlogHer network, take a completely different approach: they use their blogs as a platform to explore the challenges of their lives, and, in their vulnerability, they engage others, educate readers, and, in many cases, save lives. They talk about race, mental illness, parenting a child with special needs, adoption, addiction and more.
