Featured in The Sunday Star-Ledger
I AM SO NEW JERSEY! Read ALL about it!
The Star-Ledger is the largest newspaper in New Jersey and the 11th largest in the United States. On Sunday, perhaps the biggest paper-reading day of the week, The Star-Ledger runs a feature story titled I AM NEW JERSEY. This section profiles an interesting New Jersey native. There is something unique about their story. The reporter who contacted me is Kathy O’Brien. Not only was her writing wonderful, her interviewing was so subtle. The interview was not really an interview, and the piece was not necessarily about my work. It was about me and my life. It was about all those things and people that have provided content. It felt awkward talking about myself. I don’t like doing it. I didn’t realize that feature section was actually about the person. Anyhow, more than about me, what really makes me proud was sharing the spotlight with one of my biggest inspirations, my very small family with very big personalities and all the places we stopped along the way, how it all went down, and how we came up. It’s as much about my brother and my mother as it is about me. It’s also about my husband and my daughter too. It’s about this cast of characters and their character. The Star-Ledger also posts their stories on an online blog. So if you didn’t check the black and white, you can get the story following this link.
