In brief
Sally Kohn started as an organizer and communications strategist, then walked into studios that do not usually share talent. Fox and CNN both put her on the air; the book was an attempt to talk about contempt without adding to it.
Her family is Jewish.
She now trains other people to speak. The career is a loop: learn a room, explain the room, teach the next person the door.
