Shout out to Meredith Roach and Maria Jones for buying me coffees this past week! ☕️ Thank you!Meredith is an award-winning producer at Rabbit Foot Studios. She is known for her creative problem-solving skills and her ability to build departments from scratch.Maria is the founder of Yuva Yoga. She combines her skills in yoga and experience in being chronically ill and helps others realize the magic of chair yoga and access its benefits.--This week, we have heavy hearts, amidst the hate crimes being committed against the Asian community. White supremacy is a threat to every marginalized person. What hurts one of us hurts all of us.If you are looking for more information, education or ways to support, this is a great resource. (Tip: Girls Night In). In times like these, we often wonder what else we can do. We can rest, for sure, because we have learned that it is its own form of resistance. And we are dealing with A LOT.We can also take some advice from Desiree Lynn Adaway:“Two things you can do when destruction is all around you: Love and Create.”So that is what I plan to do. I'm sending out love to my friends, my family, my community, my city, my country, my planet. And I'm creating. This newsletter is a way for me to create and curate and show up and serve every week. I'm hoping you see this as a space where you can learn and experiment and dream and build a life that works for you. I'm also creating space for some tough topics. Earlier this week, I facilitated an #IamRemarkable workshop for an incredible group of women. We talked about why self-promotion is so hard for underrepresented individuals and a lot of the societal and cultural stuffs that are working against us. But the women even talked about how those reasons made it all the more important to build this muscle. I honestly can't wait to see them go out in the world and own their narratives and feel more and more comfortable self-promoting and sharing the awesome things they are working on. The more we love and create and share, the more others will love and create and share. And I think that sounds like a wonderful ripple effect to put into the world. How about you? 💖On to the picks!
