Rosie’s Place’s annual luncheon, Funny Women…Serious Business takes place on November 6th at the Menino Convention and Exhibition Center. This year the featured speaker is Rachel Louise Snyder, an award-winning author and investigative journalist whose work explores the causes and consequences of the violence that impacts women. Her powerful memoir Women We Buried, Women We Burned recounts her own story of loss and survival. When eight-year-old Rachel’s mother died, the years that followed were traumatic, culminating in her becoming homeless at age 16. Living out of her car and relying on strangers, Rachel eventually found her way to college and went on to travel the globe.

Sue and Kendra talked with Meredith Mendelson, Executive Director of The Ellie Fund, about their mission of supporting patients, funding care and providing hope.

Sue and Kendra talked with Dr. Charlotte Kuperwasser, a Professor and the Director of the Tufts Convergence Lab at Tufts University School of Medicine and also the recipient of grant funding from Boston-based Find The Cause Breast Cancer Foundation for her research into the environmental causes of breast cancer.

Sue and Kendra talked with husband and wife Broadway performers Matt DeAngelis and Christine Dwyer about "Janice Jam." Matt lost his mom Janice to breast cancer in 2022 and since then has rallied friends, family and industry colleagues to help in the fight against the disease. The concert fundraiser has even included big names like Oscar winner Ariana DeBose and Tony Award winners John Gallager Jr and Lauren Patten to name a few.
