JulyNews 2024 with Lisa Niver & We Said Go Travel:
I am GRATEFUL to YOU
Thank you for coming to my events, watching my videos, being excited for me winning awards and of course buying, reading and reviewing my memoir, BRAVE-ish! This summer I have had so much fun with friends at salsa dancing, bowling, and an escape room in Los Angeles and Broadways shows, family celebrations and virtual golf in New York City. Next time you are in NYC, go see my nephew, Zach Niver, perform at a comedy club!
One of my favorite things to do in the summer is go to the Hollywood Bowl, we absolutely loved seeing Barbie The Movie: In Concert featuring the Barbie Land™ Sinfonietta, an all-women and mostly women of color orchestra dressed in pink jumpsuits!
THANK YOU to Rachael at Barnes & Noble at The Grove, BJ Korros from The Hollywood Moment and every single person who joined us at the book reading and signing as well as all of our giveaway sponsors. I had SO MUCH fun!

In the spirit of July 4th, I am praying for peace ☮️ love ❤️ and freedom for all. 💔🇮🇱💙I continue to hope for all the hostages to be returned to Israel. Wishing luck, safety and shalom to the Israeli athletes starting their journey in Paris! Did you know I was part of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles?
The classic case of a “nonapology” apology is when the allegedly contrite offender says something to the effect of “I’m so sorry that you’re upset.” Note that the speaker doesn’t actually acknowledge doing anything wrong.
Without noticing it, my body has gone from a shiny new Audi to a dented rent-a-wreck. I went from “Let me get it” to “Just give me two minutes to catch my breath.”
AIPAC’s leaders face fundamental strategic questions unlike those they have confronted in the modern era.… Their ability to adapt to these new circumstances will define not only their future, but that of the U.S.-Israel relationship in this uncertain era.
Once an accusation this explosive becomes accepted as fact, it changes the moral status of the accused. Israelis become genocidaires. Zionists become supporters of genocide. Jews who support Israel become apologists for genocide.
What Ruffalo actually did was take a family’s business decision, an American company buying an American media conglomerate, and launder it through Israel to try and make it seem sinister.
It’s racist to hand someone a job based on skin color alone. They will be doomed to fail because representing one’s identity is not the same thing as mastering a profession.
The entertainment-industry organization said Ruffalo fused criticism of Israel with conspiratorial themes involving Jewish wealth, media ownership and concentrated power. Ruffalo called the antisemitism allegation “fundamentally dishonest.”
Ruffalo made the Ellisons’ relationship with Israel—and the nationality of an Oracle executive—a core part of his indictment of the Warner Bros. Discovery deal.
