When Jennifer Freed asked me how I wanted to celebrate my 70th birthday, I blurted out my fantasy of going to Florence to research my memoir. “I can make that happen!” she exclaimed. And she did. She sent out a fundraising letter that was so effective, even people who didn’t know me contributed.

“I can make that happen” might be the magic words behind Freed’s success. Everyone who has known her probably has a story to tell of getting direction or support toward a path of greater achievement or less sorrow.

Freed’s own story begins with her growing up in Los Angeles as the child of New York Jewish activists. She was concerned about social justice from a young age, volunteering and attending marches and protests. Her grandmother was a spy for J. Edgar Hoover during WWII and exposed the Nazi movement leader in New York City while posing as his girlfriend. Freed’s father, Bert Freed, was a character actor who appeared in hundreds of TV shows and movies. She credits her mother, Nancy, for teaching her to love the “beyond-human world.”
