Julie Lythcott-Haims is a lot of things. She’s a daughter. She’s a mother. She’s the former Dean of Freshman at Stanford University and a Ted Talk speaker. She holds several degrees including a Law Degree from Harvard. The identity that didn’t come as easy to her was that of black woman. In her memoir, Real American, Julie gives us her evolution of how growing up in a mixed race household and in many all white settings meant learning about and loving herself as a black woman would take some time. In How To Raise An Adult, Julie turned her Stanford experience and her mind for research into a manifesto for modern parenting.
How To Travel For Next To Nothing: With Nina Manni
One of my favorite things is to see is when a friend keys into their passion. This has been the case with my friend and repeat guest, Nina Manni. She left her comedy career behind when she realized it wasn’t making her happy. What DID make her happy was traveling all over the world for CHEAP, but doing it well. Once she figured out how to do it, she wanted to help others do it too. She’s got some great tips for everyone!

The Curiosity Hour: With Katie Ward
Dan and Tommy from The Curiosity Hour Podcast were kind enough to invite me on their show! They asked me all about what inspires me (Beyoncé), the evolution of my religious beliefs, and so many deep things. If you haven’t yet heard their show, I highly recommend it.

Millennial Journalism Is Giving Me Life: With Lily Herman
In 2016, a beautiful trend began. Some of the BEST journalism came from one of the most unexpected places, Teen Vogue. Lily Herman is one of the writers leading the charge. She also freelances for Glamour, Allure, and Refinery 29. In her spare time, she’s volunteering her skills to women running for office. Love! It gives me great hope to see someone so attuned to the important issues of feminists doing this work at such a young age. There is hope! Hope for us all!
