Noelle is the daughter of a Baal teshuva (a Jew who grew up non religious) father and a convert mother, when her family left modern orthodoxy and moved towards a more strict yeshivish lifestyle she struggled under the weight of what that difference meant in her daily life. When her family's rabbi decided that her mother's conversion was invalid and that she and her siblings would need to convert, it rocked her world. Noelle's courage as she worked through her issues with Judaism, a skewed view of her body due to years of religious oppression, and discovering a sexuality that she didn't even know was a possibility is nothing short of awe inspiring.

Noelle is a warrior whose first victory was saving herself. She will no doubt help save countless others.
