Cyndie Spiegel is a bestselling author, in-demand speaker/storyteller, and the founder of Dear Grown Ass Women — a hyper-inclusive social community for women. Her life has been more than a little eventful: she grew up happy and on food stamps in New Jersey, the youngest child of a Black father and white Jewish mother (she jokes that she didn’t think it was at all unusual to have latkes and collard greens on the same table). In her twenties, she traveled the world as a fashion executive and later became a professor at NYC’s Parsons School and the Fashion Institute of Technology.
Then at 35, she “imploded her life” (her words), quit her professor jobs, and decided to make supporting women her new vocation. Her first book, A Year of Positive Thinking (2018), offers relatable bursts of courage/affirmation, while steering well clear of toxic positivity. It has sold over 200K copies to date.
