edit data

Susan Strong’s career was launched in New York when she was one of the first employees at MTV. After learning the craft of writing and producing, she went to LA to be a magazine editor and producer of the film interview series Champlin on Film for Bravo. She is the author of two young-adult books, The Greatness of Girls and The Boldness of Boys. She later became the Associate Head at an independent school in Dayton, Ohio, where she currently resides. Writing her memoir about how her family was formed through open adoption helped her realize that saying yes during pivotal moments in her life was the secret ingredient to positive change.
