Her new memoir, Heart on My Sleeve, is out October 8th, 2024 through Simon & Schuster Canada. With a touching forward by Linda Evangelista, Beker delivers uplifting reflections that walk us through a wardrobe of memory, one article of clothing at a time.

Born in Toronto to Holocaust survivors who instilled fearlessness, hard work, and tenacity in her from a young age, she began her professional show biz career at 16. After studying acting in New York and mime in Paris, she moved to Newfoundland where she made her journalistic debut as an arts reporter for CBC Radio. A few years later, Beker returned to Toronto to land a job at CHUM Radio and in 1979, she co-hosted the ground-breaking series The NewMusic. A founding member of MuchMusic, Beker launched the legendary Fashion Television in 1985 which was presented in over 130 countries for 27 years. A seasoned newspaper columnist for several publications, Beker was editor-in-chief of FQ and SIR magazines (2003 - 2008) and has previously authored five books. She is a frequent keynote speaker and guest on myriad lifestyle shows and has been at the creative helm of numerous fashion lines under her own eponymous label. Since 2015, Beker has acted as Style Editor for The Shopping Channel where she currently hosts the series Style Matters with Jeanne Beker.

She has received honorary doctorates from St. Mary’s University and OCAD University. Active with several charitable organizations, she has been named to the Order of Canada (2014), inducted into the American Marketing Association’s Hall of Legends (2015), recognized with the Banff World Media Festival's Canadian Award of Distinction (2012), honoured with a Canadian Screen Achievement Award (2013), and received a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame (2016).
