I started my career in law and resisted going into “sex” until I was 32 and my intention to create a lifestyle brand for women put me on the front page of the NY Times.
It was no accident that I ended up at Betty Dodson’s door to interview her about the current state of feminism and women’s sexuality. Our connection was instantaneous.
