If Not Now, When?
In the weeks after October 7th, I was stunned by how quickly antisemitism and distortion surged online. By every metric, my content—focused on Holocaust education and Jewish life—had been successful: millions of views, global press coverage, deep engagement. And yet, almost overnight, those hard-won narratives were drowned out by louder, more aggressive ones. It was a sobering reminder: even powerful stories can lose their footing in a noisy, reactive world.
​
A few months later, while being filmed in Berlin for an Arté documentary, the young German director told me—gently, curiously—that she had never met a Jew. Her questions were thoughtful, but her lack of knowledge was striking.
​
That’s when it hit me hard: ignorance and invisibility feed the problem.
​
These past two years have changed me—personally and professionally. I now understand my mission more clearly than ever: to help people tell stories that land—that reach across divides, humanize complexity, and hold their ground in a crowded public square.
​
I work at the intersection of storytelling, identity, and digital communication. I’ve partnered with Hebrew University researchers, TikTok/ByteDance, Cyberwell, and eight former concentration-camp sites to advocate for effective education and to bring thoughtful, grounded narratives into public spaces that desperately need them.
​
I collaborate with educators, nonprofits, filmmakers, academics, and creators—anyone trying to make meaning in a polarized world. Whether you’re giving a speech, raising funds, making a film, or writing online, I help you clarify your message so your audience doesn’t just hear you—they understand you.
​
So if you have a message that matters—if you want to build bridges, create change, or help shape a better future—I can help you make it resonate.
