We literally had hundreds of nominations this year, and we wish we could have picked every single one of them.
This year’s posts are a combination of serious, thoughtful, poignant, and downright hilarious.
Bloggers will read the post in their own voice. It’s a powerful session, not to be missed. It starts at 17:10 on Saturday June 22, immediately after Emma Freud’s keynote. The wonderful Katy Hill will introduce the session.
So without further ado, in order of appearance…

I've needed tissues at this session both years that I have attended - major style. I think they should put a sponsored box on every table. Liska x
