Talks

Annie can be engaged as a speaker. She has two talks:

The Good Yenta: a Humorous Celebration of Jewish Women, and

Show and Tell with the Bargain Junkie: How to Live the Good Life on the Cheap.

In The Good Yenta, Annie deals with a serious subject – the stereotyping of Jewish women – in an entertaining and uplifting way, with material based on Yenta Unplugged.

This speech is extremely effective as a fund-raiser because the content is “feel-good” and celebratory.

The talk can be 35 – 45 minutes, plus a Q & A. If desired, the Q & A can be run as a workshop.
