| Introduction | Confessions of a Backbench Mom is a reflection of current political and social issues rooted in my experience as a woman in backend politics in Israel and Canada for over a decade. Women are often the motivators and inspiration for change. We're moving from the sidelines to get to the nitty gritty of political engagement. Backbenched by the message of the day or the new demographic to win over, this is a place to put it down and say why our voices, opinions and votes matter. Ya’ara Saks is a writer, communications specialist and political analyst. A Canadian and Israeli citizen raised in both countries, she has worked in Israel and Canada in politics as a consultant in advisory roles for policy, communications and project management. She holds a Master’s Degree from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in International Relations and Diplomacy on Israeli-Palestinian relations. Comfortable in both places but with ideas that sometimes don't quite fit anywhere Confessions of a Backbench Mom is a platform to voice those viewpoints. Ms. Saks currently resides in Toronto. |
