Stephanie Sussman, a grand prize winner of Jewish Star Season 2, was interviewed by the Los Angeles publication The Jewish Journal about her work in music and advocacy.
Sussman says in the article, “I think ‘Jewish Stars’ made me realize that when it comes to social justice and advocacy… I want to be the girl singing with the guitar onstage instead of someone who is lobbying. Words can do so much to convince someone of something, but songs can give you goosebumps and make you cry. Song is really emotionally appealing to people and part of why I connect to it so much.”
