Happy Tuesday BOSLadies,

Tonight is the night! Alexandra is hosting us at HMFH so head on over to Cambridge for 6:30pm. When you arrive, the doors will be locked so give either me or her a call or text to let you in. My cell is (805) 450-3666.

If you can’t join us, here are a few BOSLady things to make up for it

• Only have time for one thing on this list? Watch Issa Rae's acceptance speech at the 2019 Women in Film Awards.

“As women we tend to downplay ourselves. We tend to dim our light and we’re kind of conditioned socially to be humble. And I grew up in the age of hip hop…and none of my favorite artists are humble,” Rae explained. “So in writing my speech, I decided to embrace this moment in honor of them.”

• A Medium article about persistence, as exemplified by successful internet creators

• Something to fan your creative flame: exhibits from the unMuseum at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, OH. My personal favorite is Deep Space

Looking forward to seeing everyone this evening! And if you would like, BYOB

Sincerely,

Amber Poirier
