Jehmu Greene

President, Women's Media Center

Jehmu Greene

I am:  passionate, determined, down-to-earth

What I do:  I am the President of the Women’s Media Center (WMC).  The WMC was founded in 2005 as a non-profit progressive women's media organization by writers/activists Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem.  The WMC makes women visible and powerful in the media.

I lead WMC campaigns, manage a $1 million budget, and provide vision and planning for the growth of the organization.

My “career path”:  My first job was as an office manager of an interior design firm.  My first campaign-related job was as a Volunteer Coordinator for a US Senate Campaign.  I started out working with grassroots organizations, realized the impact that media can make and decided to use media as a primary tool for advocacy. 

My favorite thing outside of work:  Singing country music.

Tips for a successful girlfuture:

Learn to appreciate the power of writing.
