you have this too, right? it has some repeated text sorry
and i have attached the speech i have just begun for the annenberg

here , i wrote this for my linked in bio

Since the age of 10, Greenberg has staged photographs and created characters using the mediums of drawing,
painting, sculpture, film and photography. Greenbergs notable success with gallery and museum shows, book
publishing, commercial and editorial photography displays her unique perspective with a clear voice, which is
apparent through her distinctive lighting and personally executed postproduction. Greenberg is known worldwide
for her uniquely human animal portraits which intentionally anthropomorphize her subjects as well as her infamous series, "End Times" which struck a nerve in its exploration of religious, political, and environmental themes using the raw emotion of toddlers. Her newest work marks a return to the postmodern feminist theory that inspired her thesis as an art student at RISD in the 90's: "The disciplinary project of femininity" and the predetermined failure of all women who attempt to "succeed" at it. As a working photographer she travails to straddle the line between assignment work and her own personal work. On one notable occasion, a conflict arose when she was assigned to photograph the Republican candidate for presidency in 2008; after delivering the assignment exactly as requested, she chose to speak out in the form of agit prop outtakes on her own website, which she was legally allowed and morally compelled to do. The violent backlash from her political art has informed this return to the question of what is tolerated by women in our culture.

She is known worldwide for her uniquely human animal portraits which intentionally anthropomorphize her subjects, as well as her infamous series, "End Times" which struck a nerve in its exploration of religious, political, and environmental themes exploiting the raw emotion of toddlers in distress. Her newest work marks a return to the postmodern feminist theory that inspired her senior thesis, "The Female Object" as an art student at RISD in the 80's: "The disciplinary project of femininity" and the predetermined failure of all women who attempt to "succeed" at it.

As a working photographer she travails to straddle the line between assignment work and her own personal work. On one notable occasion, a conflict arose when she was assigned to photograph the Republican candidate for presidency in the summer 2008, at the height of his popularity; after delivering the assignment exactly as requested, she chose to speak out in the form of agit prop outtakes on her own website, which she was legally allowed and morally compelled to do. The violent backlash from her political art has informed this return to the question of what is tolerated by women in our culture.
