It’s not about education, it’s about enlightenment.”

This week we’re passing the mic to Kathy Gordon and her teenage daughters, Ava and Giulia. From Kathy's upbringing in a diverse neighborhood in Upper Manhattan, to her experiences navigating whiteness as a Black mother in some of NYC's most prestigious private schools, the Gordon women have a lot to say about this moment in history.  

Kathy is a 53-year old NYC native and Founder of The Book Hook, a book marketing, graphic design and promotion company operating in traditional and digital media. Formerly the dedicated director of Brand Development for Harper Collins, Kathy has developed campaigns for bestselling authors from Stephen King to Hillary Clinton, as well as branding alliances for numerous TV series and feature films.

THE HER MIC SERIES: 

The Her Mic series is our way of passing the mic to women of color, in particular Black women, whose voices and stories have been marginalized for too long, as well as women who have experiences bearing upon the important conversations around anti-racism. In typical FWSS fashion, these are heart-centered conversations, told from where She sits.
