DC Mom Bloggers April Meetup Recap: Influencer Panel at M.M. La Fleur Georgetown

Written by Carly Russell, Chapter Officer of the DC Mom Bloggers

For the April 2026 DC Mom Bloggers Meetup, over 30 attendees came together at the iconic M.M. La Fleur in Georgetown, DC for a panel discussion with five local influencers. Our speakers ranged from full-time influencers to moms to part-time creators, and each shared what has helped them grow an audience in the influencer space.

The Panel: Growing Your Audience as an Influencer

Our five speakers, @theclassicnic, @yanabstyle, @spoonfuloftrish, @nikkibraden and @peytonjohnsonnn, each shared important aspects of growing your audience from where they are: as full-time influencers, as moms, and as part-time creators balancing content with everything else. The conversation was moderated by @bluebootsgo, and @thecarlychic kept the afternoon moving as our MC.
