Hello! I'm Aliza Freud, the founder of SheSpeaks. We've been getting lots of requests for more information on SheSpeaks. Who we are? How did we get started? Why we're here?
Well, we figured, the best way to keep SheSpeaks members updated on what we're doing, is to just tell you directly on the site. So, we've created a section of the SheSpeaks blog dedicated to information on the behind the scenes at SheSpeaks.
I started SheSpeaks because I realized that as women we are an incredibly important and powerful group of consumers. We make up over 50% of the population in the US, we make over 83% of the purchase decisions and we have tremendous buying power of $5+ trillion!
So, if we are such an important consumer, shouldn't we have more of a say in the development, marketing etc. of products and services that are targeted to us?
With SheSpeaks, we are creating a place where women can have their say and influence these products and services- while getting them for free and connecting with one another at the same time!
Since we launched at the beginning of February, thousands of women across the country have signed up to join SheSpeaks. As our numbers grow, so does the influence of our network!
Aliza, great job on getting this together. I really enjoy being part of something new. You're right, we do make the household buying decisions therefore, we do deserve to evaluate any new product out there and decide, from our experience, whether it meets our family's standards. Especially for us Latinas. So, thanks again!

I love browsing through the comments and seeing what everybody else is thinking. For the most part we tend to agree. I hope manufacturers, vendors, government, and other entities are listening. We women drive much of this economy with our everyday buying decisions.
