More from Maureen about this episode…
I was recently invited to a book signing/talk with Jodi Bondi Norgaard and was struck by her story, persistence, and resilience, in trying to bring a true representation-of-a-young-girl doll to the market. Like many a story, Jodi’s is filled with highs and lows, and twists and turns. You will be riveted by her vision and staying the path along the way. Her story is far from over and I, for one, cannot wait to see where it takes her! Check out her book, More Than A Doll, here.
