Jude Berman grew up amid floor-to-ceiling shelves of books in many languages, with refugee parents who instilled in her a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and social justice. She has a BA in art from Smith College and an EdD in cross-cultural communication from UMass Amherst. After a career in academic research, she built a freelance writing and editing business and ran two small indie presses. She lives in Berkeley, California, where, in her free time, she volunteers for civic causes, paints with acrylic watercolors, gardens, and meditates. She blogs at https://judeberman.substack.com.
