Anniversary Post Part 1- Celebrating Most Popular Italian American Girl Blogs
So, the Italian American Girl blog is coming up on 10 years!! How can that be possible? I remember when everyone was just starting their online presence and the Italian American Girl blog served as my real world example of becoming digital and yet sharing more about myself and my upbringing. I truly learned how to become the digital media expert through becoming what they now called an influencer. I'm very proud of the partnerships, content and events I've promoted, or published over the years. I've met incredible people from our Italian American world and honestly we are all proud Americans celebrating our cultural heritage. We all have history as immigrants, as our parents and grandparents. This country was built on the hard work of immigrants from all over the world, that's what makes America great.
To celebrate some of the throwbacks of the Italian American Blog, I'm highlighting the top blog posts of all time.. it's interesting what topics resonate with so many. Thank you everyone for the support and love over the years. We'll be posting an anniversary special feature... perhaps even some LIVE guest posts on Instagram, and Facebook. Stay tuned.
If you have a product, press or content you would like considered to be featured on my site, please send me a pitch at margaret@italianamericangirl.com

The public

have limited time to answer each question.
Prior to the youth symposium, seven13
Films will be screening an episode of their docuseries Generation Change and the Rider University students will be
screening their featurette Generation
Change: It Starts with Us.
“It is amazing to see the film we have
created has brought together the world of politics and education all one in
place. “says Lee Kolinsky, co-owner of seven13 Films. “With CBS-3 and Alicia
Nieves participating in the event, it’s the right step for great things to
come.”
Directed and produced by Joseph A.
Halsey and written and produced by Kolinsky, the docuseries Generation Change was created with a mission to increase social awareness about issues
affecting our local youth. The film features Good Morning America’s Adrienne Bankert and youths from the
organization PEI Kids.
“We
created this episode of Generation Change
to find out what Trenton youths would do in their community if they were mayor,”
says Joseph A. Halsey, co-owner of seven13 Films. “Now, these kids will get a
chance to ask the mayoral candidates what they would change if they were
elected.” Halsey adds, “Our film was designed to inspire a conversation and promote
positive change in the community.”
The event is being planned and produced
by Rider University students in “COM341 Publicity Methods,” a course currently
being taught by Adjunct Professor Kathy Magrino. Since January, Magrino’s class
has been working closely with seven13 Films and media consultant Margaret
Fontana of Margaret Fontana Media.
“Producing and promoting this event has
provided a great ‘real-world’ learning experience for everyone involved,”
Magrino says. “My students and I are very excited to be working with Joe and
Margaret and the entire seven13 Films crew. We are so grateful to them for this
opportunity and for all of their time and guidance!”
