Nominated by: Speaking Broadly
As founder of Rebel Rebel, a feminist wine bar in Boston, and a consultant on many great wine lists in Boston and beyond, Lauren Friel is sensitive to the needs of her customers and staff. This sensitivity to the needs of others is part of what delayed her from leaving an abusive, suicidal partner. Her life so far is a testament to the power of claiming joy, slowly and consciously.
