About Us
Our Mission
To promote gender equity by creating supportive spaces for moms to explore shared experiences and address diverse issues unique to motherhood and womanhood. We believe that fostering solidarity among moms and challenging patriarchal norms in our micro-environments is crucial to driving cultural change for all women.
Among Other Things has launched a beta version of Mom’s Social Club that currently serves the vibrant communities of the West Village, Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Flatiron, Union Square, and Gramercy neighborhoods of New York City. Our members, who are actively raising children while balancing careers, households, and volunteer work, come together to explore issues unique to motherhood and womanhood, among other things.
Leadership Team
Jess Kahn Marks is the co-founder and CEO of Among Other Things. After leaving mechanical engineering in 2016 to travel and have children, she challenged herself to read only books by women for a year. That simple challenge led to a larger awakening about systemic sexism and her place within the system. She obtained degrees in physics, engineering and business management from Vassar and Dartmouth. She lives in Greenwich Village with her husband and two daughters where she has become a marathon runner.
Tiffany Hodges is the co-founder CCO of Among Other Things and writes the bi-monthly substack articles. She is also a filmmaker and activist. She is the owner of FairSay Films, a production company dedicated to the untold story of the underrepresented. Her latest film DISPLACED is being screened as part of Soundbites2Soulutions sponsored by SoulTech Magazine. She also serves on the Democratic County Committee, is a proud member of the ACLU and works closely with New York Women in Film & TV.
Jamie Dennison is the co-founder and COO at Among Other Things. She spent 15 years as an executive in the corporate real estate industry before pivoting into an operational leadership role on the founding team of a Web3 blockchain startup. She brings a passion and career history for supporting and advancing women, leading corporate women's networks of over 600 women, co-launching a national Working Parents Collective and founding her own women-centric real estate practice called Through the Lobby. She has two inspirational daughters with her husband and lives in Manhattan.
Cristina Sansone Lyssy is the podcast coordinator for Among Other Things. She took a break from her career in Public Health Communications in 2022 to become the full-time caregiver to her 3 kids. She also took a break from life in Manhattan to investigate the world of suburbia in Bentonville, Arkansas. Inspired by a variety of specialized experiences in public health practice and research, both domestically and abroad she seeks to shed light on the inherent diversity of the experience of motherhood from a wide array of perspectives. Cristina earned a Master of Public Health in Health Behavior from the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health.
