Born and raised in New York, Lesley Abravanel covered the amusingly vapid celeb scene in So Flo for the Miami Herald and several illustrious supermarket mags since the Kardashians were fetuses. She also wrote about restaurants, nightlife and travel for such outlets as the Miami.com and the Daily Mail. She was the founding editor of Eater Miami. After 2016, she took a major left turn and started using her platform to speak up about politics, especially after being blocked on Twitter by a certain twice-impeached 34-times convicted felon "president". She parlayed that into a position as Managing Editor for Occupy Democrats and Washington Press, two of the internet's most followed left-leaning websites.She is a prolific writer whose political prose has appeared on Raw Story and AlterNet.org, and a ghost writer and script writer for some bold faced and regular type people. She sometimes covers antisemitism in Palm Beach County for The Forward. When she's not fighting fascism, she collects hot sauces, raises twin teens, and attempts to learn Swedish from her Stockholm-born husband.
