Yavilah McCoy was selected as one of
The Forward 50: The Machers And Shakers Who Influenced, Intrigued And Inspired Us This Year:
"An educator, playwright, and a force behind the Women’s March, McCoy, 47, fights to make the Jewish community more welcoming to Jews of color. She grew up Orthodox in Brooklyn, lives now in Boston, runs a consultancy helping educational institutions foster diversity, and opened her speech at the march in Washington by saying, Shabbat Shalom."
