I am a freelance journalist and broadcaster who has covered Israel extensively but also volunteer for World WIZO where I hold the portfolio of head of Public Diplomacy. I also voluntarily serve as National Spokesperson for the SAZF and started Layoftheland.online with two partners in order to effectively communicate Israel’s narrative, cover Jewish issues and provide a platform for talented writers. I believe I would be a worthy winner because I am someone dedicated to serving both the South African Jewish community (despite living in Israel) and my commitment to presenting facts and the Israeli narrative, especially during a time of war. In my voluntary capacity for World WIZO I lobby for the rights of Jewish women and children.
My vision for the future is to grow my business, to ensure that the voices of Jews, be they in South Africa or anywhere in the world are heard, to continue to be a voice for those silenced forever and to focus on building ties between solution and peace seeking communities and organisations who want to foster ties and build relationships that are beneficial to the people of South Africa and Israel.
