Despite everything, I wrote a lot this year and am proud to have gotten to publish more pieces about France, interesting women in history and of course sewing.

For @RecordingAcad I wrote about Arrières-Gardes, the collective of independent music venues trying to preserve Paris's music scene. Their work has become even more important with venues shut down because of the pandemic.

I wrote a fun series for @hey_alma this spring on Jewish women in history. It was a welcome distraction during the start of the pandemic. Two of my favorites were on fashion designers https://www.heyalma.com/7-iconic-jewish-fashion-designers-who-deserve-a-lot-more-love/?utm_campaign=buffer&utm_content=buffer35c9e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com and photographers https://www.heyalma.com/these-7-jewish-photographers-captured-the-20th-century/ Rate: $150/article
