"Judy was bothered that most accounts of this esteemed painter give short shrift to Alma Thomas’s life before she introduced her signature abstract painting style (which eventually led to her solo show at New York’s Whitney Museum), 'as though Alma Thomas emerged from out of nowhere in 1960 at age 70.'" - Lisa Siegrist

Judy Blume, Author & Activist, Shines in “Judy Blume Forever”

"When co-directors Davina Pardo and Leah Wolchok set out to film their biographic documentary 'Judy Blume Forever'—about best-selling author and activist Judy Blume—they knew that the censorship from the 1980s would play a big role in the film. However, they had no idea just how relevant it would be." - Katusha Jin (@katusha.j) @judyblume4real
