In honor of Mother’s Day, we chat this week with Kate Siegel, the force behind Instagram phenomenon @CrazyJewishMom, and her *actual* crazy Jewish mom, Kim Friedman. Prepare to laugh out loud as you listen to this dynamic duo talk #MeToo, leaning in, and the big lie that launched @CrazyJewishMom into the social media force it is today. Siegel, a Princeton graduate, directs her brand full-time and has nearly 1 million followers across social media platforms. She is the author of the NY Times best-seller, “Mother, Can You Not?” Friedman is an Emmy award nominated TV director and producer who broke into the field when it was almost exclusively dominated by men. Her oeuvre includes The Love Boat, Beverly Hills 90210, Star Trek and Lizze McGuire, among many others. This duo is everything #chutzpah.
