As I mentioned in a post a couple weeks ago, I've started writing a weekly feature over at Blogher called Solutionary Women. I thought I'd share this week's interview with Mary Brune, co-founder of MOMS (Making Our Milk Safe). Mary was kind enough to let me e-interview her for this post. Describe the work you do for MOMS.

The organization's founder, Brande Jackson, took the time to answer my Solutionary Women e-interview questions.

It was developed by Carnet Williams, a serial nonprofit social entrepreneur/techie, who I tracked down for an interview many months ago.
