LION OF JUDAH SIGNATURE EVENT

 

Please join UJA Women’s Philanthropy for our annual Lion of Judah event, featuring keynote speaker Jodi Kantor.

 

Jodi was one of the New York Times reporters to break the story about the allegations against Harvey Weinstein–risking her career and paving the way for thousands to come forward. Jodi and her team’s work garnered them the Pulitzer Prize for public service in 2018. We are honoured to hear from Jodi about both her personal and professional life, and how her strong Jewish values plays a central role.

SPEAKER

JODI KANTOR

Jodi Kantor is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and best-selling author whose work has revealed hidden truths about power, gender, technology, politics, and culture.

In October of 2017, she and Megan Twohey broke the story of Harvey Weinstein’s decades of sexual abuse allegations. Their work helped ignite the #MeToo movement, shift attitudes, and spur new laws, policies and standards of accountability around the globe. Together with a team of colleagues who exposed harassment across industries, they were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, journalism’s highest award.

Kantor and Twohey built on their initial investigation on Weinstein and sexual harassment in a New York Times best-selling book entitled She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement, published on September 10, 2019 by Penguin Press—now a major motion picture.
