iReport —

I attended the California Women's Conference, Night at the Village on Monday, October 26th. The conference hosted by First Lady Maria Shriver was sold out to a crowd of 10,000 people. The Long Beach Convention Center was packed full of women and yes even a few men.

Stephanie Quayle was asked personally by Maria Shriver to open up the conference on the main stage. She is a recording artist with a new album "Ain't No Housewife," which is set to release on Tuesday, October 27th on iTunes. She was just a attendee last year, but she says that being a participant is a whole different thing.

She has graciously given me and CNN permission to use her new song, which I have put together in a montage of video and images from the conference.

In order of appearance:

This event was a lot of fun and I can't wait until next years. Maria Shriver puts on one heck of an event.
