In this episode of The TrendSetters Podcast, it’s my favorite segment–The Life of a Creative. I feature the Oscar-nominated, award winning film director and easily the top 5 examples of #blackgirlmagic, Ava Duvernay. So many quotes, lessons, and parts to her journey that many of us can relate to…can’t wait for you to listen!

 

In this episode

• The motto Ava Duvernay lives by
• Ava inspired questions you can ask yourself in creating the life you want
• The one thing we all need to stop waiting and asking for
• How Ava supports her creativity–and you can too!
