Leah Berkenwald was born and raised in Northampton, MA, where
"The coffee is strong, and so are the women." As such, she was a
feminist and equal rights activist straight out of the womb. She is
particularly passionate about reproductive rights and sex education,
despite her father's wish that she do something less controversial like
"save the whales." Leah draws strength from the memories of her
grandmothers - two incredible Jewesses with some serious attitude. After three years as JWA's Social Media Specialist, Leah moved on to Wentworth Institute, where she coordinates Wellness Education. You can read her blog at www.leahbee.net
Mother's Day always makes me wonder: How do we convey the love, respect and gratitude we feel for the women in our lives – and for the fortitude and accomplishments of women everywhere?
