The Lists of BIF2016 Storytellers Grows!
Our newly added storytellers even have us here at the Business Innovation Factory wondering what themes will emerge at this years summit…
Liza Donnelly, Cartoonist The New Yorker Magazine
If you’ve ever seen the cartoons smeared throughout the pages of The New Yorker and found yourself full of laughter at the ridiculousness and accuracy of them, you have cartoonists like Liza Donnelly to thank. Donnelly reports on culture, politics and women’s rights by drawing cartoons for publications like The New Yorker magazine as well as Forbes.com where she is not only a cartoonist, but also a columnist writing about these very same topics.
Cartooning has led Donnelly down so many different paths. She is the author/editor of 16 books, her latest titled Women On Men, and is a book where she brings clear-eyed feminine comedy to the intersection of the sexes.
She is a charter member of an international project, Cartooning for Peace. Co-founder of USA FECO, the U.S. chapter of the international cartoonists’ organization and a Cultural Envoy for the U.S. State Department, traveling around the world speaking about freedom of speech, cartoons and women’s rights.
