Yesterday, Sami Greenfield, Director of Development at Tenacre Country Day School, spoke to our NEIA community about her role as an author, her viral Joy Burst Challenges, and her expertise as a mindset guru.

Greenfield is the author of Bury Me In My Bathing Suit: Essays on Life, Grief and Unexpected Joybursts. She spoke about the inspiration for the book and the process of writing and publishing it. The book is a collection of stories that are meant to inspire joy within people, especially when they intend to raise a glass and give a toast.
