Wow, Emily Greenberg’s Alternative Facts sounds like a bold and deeply needed exploration of truth, empathy, and the complexities of human nature, especially in today’s world!
Emily, if you haven’t already ventured into public speaking, I could see incredible opportunities for you to share these insights with wider audiences. Your voice would be so powerful on the speaking circuit!
This is great! My wife Patricia (Irish) grew up in Greenpoint on Java Street and we have been back many times to visit. I am excited to join your publication and look forward to reading your post.
Thanks,
