What do you love about being over 40?

Having accomplished many of my goals and failing to accomplish others has given me the resilience and confidence to keep reaching for more. I love the freedom that comes with confidence and the fearlessness that comes with resilience.

How do you stay fabulous?

By being in community with other fabulous humans! Community is the most important thing to me. My family, my colleagues and my fellow creators. I think having a sense of belonging is one of the most valuable things one can feel. My community sustains me and keeps me fabulous.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I will put a whole bunch of creative people to work and make a film. I am a story teller and want to ensure there are powerful stories by and about women in the world. I will hire a diverse team and make something really special with $40,000
