To be totally honest, I feel a little insecure introducing this week’s awesomepreneur we love. Diana De Luna is a comedian, writer, performer (and you’re not) so funny that I can do little more than giggle and drool while trying to sum up her heartwork. Diana’s used to that, though: before she made the move [...]
I’m going to level with you. I don’t have much time to introduce you to this week’s Awesomepreneur We Love because I’m hoping to finish my current read before lunch. (Shhh! Don’t tell my clients!) The book is Votary Nerves. The author is, well, an awesomepreneur we love. You can call him Jeff Phillips. And [...]
Wow. It’s starting to feel REAL. Last week, Fei-zy Waringa (you may know her as the awesomepreneur we love, Faith Odhiambo), Naraya Urban-Winterfeldt, and I put the finishing touches on our call for women Awakeneers to join us in Mombasa, Kenya this July for Awesome Girls Shift Africa 2013! We’ll be in Mombasa for 10 [...]
When you’re operating on the love frequency, the world begins to vibrate with you–or at least is sure feels that way. Take last week: a friend introduced me to the work of Tramaine Brathwaite, founder of MaineDrama Productions and the filmmaker behind Unheard–a new film about sexual abuse–and I swear, the earth moved under my feet.
It’s Dukes Week at Awesomepreneur. On Tuesday, we brought you fellow York alum, Erik Stonikas, and today we bring you another proud Duke and awesomepreneur we love, Danielle Albert. I had my eye on Danielle back when Awesomepreneur was barely the apple of my eye. Danielle comes from a long line of awesome people–her brother, [...]
Your period started today. Your head hurts, your body aches, and you just bled through your favorite pair of pants. You don’t have any underwear and, worse, enough money to purchase pads or tampons. Most of your friends are in the same boat. You might not talk about it but you know what’s going on [...]
When I read the teaser to Letters To Me: Conversations With A Younger Self, a new anthology of retrospective wisdom edited by Dan Schmidt, I imagined a collection of reprimands and finger wags in the spirit of “If I only knew then what I know now.” Good thing I like surprises. Letters To Me reunites [...]
Naphtali Leyland Fields is a super mujer. I met Naphtali almost two years ago in Antigua, Guatemala when we, along with seven other supermujeres/artists/awesomepreneurs, trained for ArtCorps, the organization that Naphtali continues to serve today! During ArtCorps training, Naphtali and I had a few powerful one-on-ones planning workshops together, digging into questions of faith, and [...]
Enough about me. Let’s talk about you. What’s your story? Fiiiiiiiine. I’ll go first. In January, my dear friend Raquel and I, along with 500+ heartists/awesomepreneurs from across the world, experienced the transformative power of storytelling at the 2do Encuentro Latinoamericano de Teatro del Oprimido (the Second Latin American Reunion of the Theatre of the [...]
