Victoria Schnepps recounts building a neighborhood media group and launching Power Women events

Victoria Schnepps told LTV East End News she started multiple local newspapers, including The Queen's Courier, and later expanded into Spanish-language publications and events that elevated women leaders.

Schnepps described launching a 'Power Women' event about 30 years ago to recognize women business leaders after seeing few women on chamber honor rolls: "So I started my 1st Power Women 30 years ago," she said. (Victoria Schnepps, SEG 469–470)

She also discussed growing her business through acquisitions and adding digital strategy: Schnepps said her outlets recently reported tens of millions of page views across websites and social platforms. The interview traced her path from small print ownership to events, digital media and community engagement.
