Hats off to the 100 Women We Love, class of 2008 (in no particular order, 'cause we love 'em all!).

When award-winning writer, post-production and motion graphics producer Jennifer Howd co-founded Punkmouse, a queer media and entertainment group, she didn’t know many other queer people in the business. So in 2006, she co-founded Q-Me Con (Queer Media and Entertainment Conference), a networking summit for LGBT media professionals in New York City.

She was surprised to learn that many powerful and successful women in the business didn’t know one another. Q-Me Con has provided a way for them to connect—and tell accurate stories that can change minds. “It really boils down to getting ourselves seen,” Howd says.
