About me: I'm the Social Media Mama, The Original Cybergrrl and founder of Webgrrls International. Now I'm running Conversify, a social media marketing company.
Who the hell is Aliza Sherman? I am a 43 year old female learning what it means to be a mother. Who knew motherhood would kick my ass? I've been a high powered careerwoman/ business owner/ consultant/ writer/ producer/ speaker and had about 5 minutes of my 15 minutes of fame back in the mid-90s when I founded Cybergrrl, Inc. and Webgrrls International. Now I'm in Alaska with a hunky husband, a beautiful baby girl and a heavy dose of post partum depression that is being managed now by happy pills. Who knew?
