Save the Date: Saturday, September 24, 2016 at 10:00 AM
Ladies in Cleveland, Akron and Northeast Ohio, join us for our second annual L.A.D.I.E.S. Brunch Conference (Living as Devoted in Every Sense)! Saturday, September 24, 2016 will be a great morning of inspiration and encouragement with our special guest speaker, literacy advocate, writer and award-winning local journalist Margaret Bernstein.
About Ms Bernstein:
Margaret Bernstein is the Director of Advocacy and Community Initiatives at WKYC Channel 3.
A Los Angeles native, she earned her bachelor’s degree in Journalism from the University of Southern California. She worked as a reporter and editor at The Plain Dealer, Ohio’s largest daily newspaper, from 1989 to 2013. A recipient of many journalism honors, Margaret won the Ohio Society of Professional Journalists’ first-place award for minority issues reporting in 2011 and 2012, for co-writing a series of profiles about the 11 Imperial Avenue victims and their families.
She is an award-winning volunteer as well. Margaret was named the National Big Sister of the Year in 2000 for her work with two Cleveland girls, Cora and Ernestine, through the local Big Brother Big Sister agency. She was also a longtime volunteer with the Urban Journalism Workshop, an annual program for high school students put on by local black journalists.
Margaret Bernstein is also the writer of The Bond, a memoir on fatherlessness by The Three Doctors, Sampson Davis, Rameck Hunt, and George Jenkins. That experience led her to write her most recent book, a storybook titled All In A Dad’s Day, designed to tighten the bond between fathers and their young children.
Margaret is married to Shaker Heights Chief Prosecutor C. Randolph Keller, and is the mother of two children, Randy and Alexandria.
Ms. Bernstein is a champion and advocate for literacy, and her message is very important and worth hearing! Feel free to invite or bring the boys and young men in your life to this event!
Along with a delicious brunch, admission is FREE for this “can’t miss” event, and there will be door prizes, too!
