ABOUT THE MODERATOR

Sierra Calamunci loves to succumb to the flowery prose of an indulgent romance novel. She finds her choice in a good read typically leans toward a love story that helps her escape into a world of bliss with a twist. Her days are spent with her team at Women of Toledo, organizing and facilitating programs and services that elevate the quality of life for women and youth in Northwest Ohio, while her evenings are spent with her husband diving into their choice of literature, cooking dinner together, and celebrating their newlywed phase.
