weekend reads

I’m writing this on Wednesday as Thursday I drove to Richmond, Virginia for the Rebelle Conference. I’m driving home today (Saturday) but leaving again tomorrow for California for another speaking engagement. Do follow along on Instagram Stories; I’ll be sure to write recaps once I am home and settled in. Weekend Reads The costume designer…

Looking back on this week, I feel the theme was “I don’t shine if you don’t shine,” which is taken from Shine Theory. Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow (well known for their fab podcast Call Your Girlfriend as well as individual projects and an upcoming book) coined Shine Theory, which is collaborating rather than competing…
