Lunch for the Girls 2020 with Gloria Steinem
Gloria Steinem is a writer, political activist, and feminist organizer. She was a founder of New York and Ms. magazines, and is the author of The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off , My Life on the Road, Moving Beyond Words, Revolution from Within, and Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, all published in the United States, and in India, in As If Women Matter. Her forthcoming book will focus on the Black roots of feminism.

She co-founded the National Women’s Political Caucus, the Ms. Foundation for Women, the Free to Be Foundation, and the Women’s Media Center in the United States. As links to other countries, she helped found Equality Now, Donor Direct Action, and Direct Impact Africa. For her writing, Steinem has received the Penney-Missouri Journalism Award, the Front Page and Clarion awards, the National Magazine Award, the Lifetime Achievement in Journalism Award from the Society of Professional Journalists, the Society of Writers Award from the United Nations, and the University of Missouri School of Journalism Award for Distinguished Service in Journalism. In 1993, her concern with child abuse led her to co-produce an Emmy Award–winning TV documentary for HBO, Multiple Personalities: The Search for Deadly Memories. She and Amy Richards co-produced a series of eight documentaries on violence against women around the world for VICELAND in 2016.

In 2013, President Obama awarded Ms. Steinem the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor. In 2019, she received the Freedom Award from the National Civil Rights Museum.

She is the subject of Julie Taymor’s upcoming biopic, The Glorias, set to premiere in Fall 2020.

BEST BURGER

As long-time residents of North Omaha, life partners Ashlei & Universal continually asked the question, "Where can you get the best burger in our neighborhood? And not only a good burger, but from a place that uses fresh quality ingredients that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?” When they could not answer this question, Best Burger was born.

Providing an experience is the most important aspect of Best Burger. We want customers to feel the intention behind how we source the food, the way in which we prepare the ingredients and how we deliver the final product to them. From start to finish, our customers will feel the love and thoughtfulness put into the meal.
