Welcome

We could not be more excited to kick off our 2nd annual Women ROCK event at historic Asbury Park Convention Hall and Paramount Theatre. Last year's event brought together like-minded women to share in activities that nurtured the mind, body and spirit? and this year we have even more exciting experiences.

Explore the five pillars of Hackensack Meridian Integrative Health & Medicine's program ? Sleep, Activity, Purpose, Nutrition and Resilience.

Take time to discover women's health and well-being services, and interact with our extraordinary vendors who will give you great ideas on how to create more balance and beauty in your life. We will also be raffling off fabulous prizes throughout the afternoon! You'll have the chance to participate in interactive fitness and cooking demos, hear from our physician panel of "womenologists", listen to our special guest speaker, entrepreneur and author Bobbi Brown, learn tips for practicing resilience and mindfulness, and cheer on our superstar winners as they're inducted into our Women Who Rock Hall of Fame.

Meet Your Emcees

Liz Jeressi

Liz has been co-host of 94.3 The Point's "Lou & Liz in the Morning" for 14 years! Liz has known Lou since the beginning of their radio careers when WJLK was located in Asbury Park. It's this long-time rapport that makes for such a successful morning show! Listeners can hear her stories, laughter and banter with Lou weekday mornings from 5:30 am-10 am. As a working mom of two school-aged kids, Liz is able to relate to the daily life that so many of her listeners share. Whether it's running a household, kids' antics, or `girl stuff' (like friendship, working out, shopping) Liz is pretty much like most women. That is why she talks to her listeners as if they are friends!

Lou Russo

Lou has been doing the morning show with Liz Jeressi for many years now, and they still are searching for something they agree on! Lou loves to start Monmouth and Ocean Counties' day with a laugh. Lou has been a New Jersey resident for over 30 years, and considers the Jersey Shore his favorite place in the world. He and his wife Diane have been married for 9 marvelous years! Lou is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Ashley Lauren Foundation and the Childhood Leukemia Foundation - and tries to help as many charity groups as possible throughout the year.

About Our Rockin' Speakers

Bobbi Brown

Bobbi Brown is an entrepreneur, author and makeup artist. She left her eponymous named beauty company Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in October of 2017, to launch her next company, Beauty Evolution, a new lifestyle platform that celebrates confidence, wellness and beauty through empowerment. Bobbi first arrived on the beauty scene in 1991 with the launch of Bobbi Brown Essentials, and changed the face of cosmetics with ten brown-based lipstick shades, created to fill a void in the market of simple, flattering and wearable makeup. Bobbi's philosophy was simple: "Women want to look and feel like themselves, only prettier and more confident."

Bobbi's unique approach to beauty and her ability to translate the latest trends into wearable, real life looks has made her a sought-after expert on television, in magazines and newspapers, and online. As a New York Times bestselling author, Bobbi has written eight instructional and engaging beauty and lifestyle books, and in Spring 2017 launched her ninth book, Beauty from the Inside Out. She continues to work editorially and is a permanent fixture backstage at New York Fashion Week, working with several of the industry's most influential designers. In 2013, Bobbi launched an eyewear collection with Safilo.

Most recently Bobbi was named creative consultant of the American department store, Lord & Taylor where she created JustBOBBI, an in-store and digital lifestyle concept boutique. On the horizon for Bobbi is the launch of her new digital platform just Bobbi. com where, as a leading authority in the industry, she will cultivate and showcase meaningful lifestyle content. Furthering her commitment to wellness, and her mission to help women look and feel their best, Bobbi will also be creating a line of supplements.

Bobbi's message remains the same today as it was when she launched in 1991: "The secret to beauty is simple ? be who you are."

Kerianne had a long journey to make it back but she did so with tenacity, grit, courage, vulnerability and hope.
