Anj loves hikes that sometimes turn into runs, learning new ways to make art, ‘90s dance parties, and adventuring with her family in Northern California.
Anj was one of MTHR's very first speakers back in 2018, and she has been championing our MTHR dreams ever since. We are elated to have her back as this year’s speaker panel moderator!
