About The Good Edit: Gritty Conversations with Jewish Women
From the publisher's feed
Hosted by journalist and writer Rebecca Davis, The Good Edit amplifies the stories of Jewish women.
In a series of gritty and grounded conversations, Rebecca speaks with a range of Jewish…
women - from entrepreneurs to activists; creatives to survivors of major adversity, and many more.
Rebecca and her guests delve into the journeys that have shaped us, the hardships we’ve overcome and go deep on the things so often left unsaid.
Why? Because our stories are our power. Because we need to see it, to be it, and by sharing our diverse stories, we challenge the limiting narratives in which Jewish women are too often framed.
These are good stories, inspiring good; elevating and empowering us to live courageously and on purpose.
So, this is us: bold yet vulnerable, unfiltered and gloriously imperfect. Loud and proud, claiming our own space.
Our good edit.
