Taking a Stand with DeDe Lahman, Magazine Editor Turned Restaurateur and Activist
Julia Bluhm and Izzy Labbe, two 14-year-old SPARK Summit bloggers, recently created quite a media stir when they showed great determination and social media skill in petitioning teen media giant Seventeen magazine to include at least one unedited photo spread per issue in the magazine’s contents.
