Talks
Annie can be engaged as a speaker. She has three talks:
The Good Yenta: a Humorous Celebration of Jewish Women,
Show and Tell with the Bargain Junkie: How to Live the Good Life on the Cheap and
Too Jewish and Not Black Enough with Mariann Aalda.
Too Jewish and Not Black Enough with Mariann Aalda, is a fun presentation on the trials and tribulations of being ethnic women in show biz and the story of a remarkable friendship.
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.

I attended the women’s conference this past weekend. I thought your talk, and the discussion that followed, were thought provoking and stimulating (not to mention witty and entertaining). You are inspiring!”

In Show and Tell with the Bargain Junkie, Annie offers a demonstration on
frugal living. This is not your run-of-the-mill book reading. It is a lively, fun-filled presentation with lots of audience participation.
