PROFESSIONALISM. No matter what your job is, or where you work, you will encounter people who challenge your sanity with their unprofessional behavior. That’s going to happen, and sometimes…sometimes all you can do is smile through your frustration and learn from their mistakes. Whether it’s a coworker who fails to do her job to the extent […]
DREAMS. Firstly, I’M BACK, PEOPLE! Most importantly, though, this week’s episode is all about coping. Sometimes you have a crush that isn’t reciprocated, sometimes you have a plan to reach a goal and it doesn’t work out the way you expected, sometimes you think you know your path and you hit an insurmountable roadblock. So deal […]
PINK VIRUS FUNDRAISER! This is the last Chatter I’ll be harassing you about this, and I hope this is the last time we need a fundraiser, and I pray that it’s because we finally get to push the vaccine forward and get it to market within my lifetime. We’ve got lives to save, people. Join […]
AM I TOO PRETTY TO DO MY JOB? I was having an online discussion last week, about how I’ve been told to dress more conservatively for certain meetings because I need to be taken more seriously. I’m fairly certain the length of my skirt has nothing to do with the functionality of my brain, and […]
MALACOSTRACA. Greek roots: malakós, meaning “soft,” and óstrakon, meaning “shell.” Though the shells of this class of crustaceans is only soft directly after molting, the name works well on many levels to describe the film that my guest, Charlie Pieper – the first male EVER to appear on a Kung Pao Kimmie Media podcast – talks about with […]
BE BOSSY. Don’t be afraid to stand up and make your voice heard, ladies. If you have a solution for a problem, say it. Fix it. Make your project better, even if all the men around you are floundering. Be the rock star I know you to be. Quiet women rarely change the world, my […]
EMBRACING YOUR FEMININITY. Yeah, I said it. Be who you are, whoever that is. If you’re going into a situation where you know you’ll accomplish your goal by presenting yourself (and therefore your project) in a certain way, there is no shame in doing so. So go out there, be who you are and who […]
HUSTLE. Not the hustle to make ends meet, we all know about that. I’m talking about the hustle to make your movie. The days when you’d rather pray for death than think about the eighty million things that need to go right in order for you to get that one important shot, the moments when […]
LIMITS. Know your own. Know others’. And don’t ever let someone try to make you go beyond yours if it’ll hurt you. Oh, and learn from my mistakes, y’all. I didn’t set limits for something, and I pay for it every day. Yeesh.
INSPIRATION. Wherever you are, anywhere you look, there are moments that can spark a thought – and some of those thoughts can turn into the inspiration you need to change your life and become who you truly want to be. So don’t ignore those tiny moments. Don’t live life passively. Allow yourself to think, and […]
