Jean is a member of the reading group Tackling Antisemitism and a retired professional fundraiser. Formerly based in New York, she was co-founder and director of the NY Salon. Jean previously directed a major volunteer-led arts organisation in Birmingham providing a platform for artists to show their work which might otherwise be ignored by mainstream venues. Her work to challenge perceptions of people with disabilities and people living with mental illness has provided an open platform for debate on the issue, and she has developed practical strategies to enable more productive, independent living.
