They Said She Couldn’t, But She Did. And Then She Conquered.
Penina Taylor, shares about creating UNORTHOBOXED, representation, and finding connection.
By Yaffi Lvova
Penina Taylor’s bio says she is an inspirational speaker, life coach, and author. But if you’re in her closer circle, you know that she’s much more about her passion, her drive, and her love of seeking truth. And then sharing it.
Penina has placed herself at the helm of UNORTHOBOXED, with the unique mission to bring essential knowledge as well as a sense of belonging to every Observant Jewish woman, no matter where on the spectrum she falls, through a lifestyle publication; discussing issues common and important to the religious Jewish woman, as well as publishing some articles that are lighthearted, entertaining, or inspirational. Judaism is a path that requires curiosity, and Penina is happy to first ignite that spark.
A Message From Our Editor
Birthdays. Anniversaries. Rosh Hashanah. As time-bound beings we mark our lives by the yearly cycle of the sun. Even Judaism, which counts time by the moon, reconciles our calendar to the sun every few years. This year, September brings two anniversaries, and my Hebrew birthday, as well as the New Year, so I’ve got a lot to think about. Yes, plans for the future, but also so much to be grateful for.
