I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be fearless. How can I live my life more fearlessly? Some of my favorite fearless female role models include:
Emma Watson's Belle in Beauty & The Beast: she's a book reading inventor who doesn't change who she is because "she's different from the rest of us." A bright, beautiful, independent young woman who risks her life for others. She saves a prince and his entire castle because she believes inner beauty is more valuable than outward appearances.
Supergirl: fights to keep peace between the extraterrestrial community and Earth. She believes in equality, justice, and hope. She's an incredibly brave badass who constantly sees the good in others and never gives up fighting for what's right even when the odds are against her.
Fearless Girl on Wall Street: "Even though she's a little girl, her stance is one of determination, forwardness, and being willing to challenge and take on the status quo." Watch out world, I'm feeling fearless!
YouTube: I got invited to Politics & Pizza at the YouTube Space to discuss how creators are processing issues related to the health, safety, and the political life of women in the U.S. It was super empowering to discuss women's rights with other content creators. The conversation was facilitated by an incredible panel of women and men from UN Women: United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.
QUANTICO: Last month I was on set with director Jennifer Lynch, David Lynch's daughter, for two days! It was incredible watching this woman effortlessly direct over 300 people including actors and crew with such joy, and positivity. I also learned some cool camera tricks that I can't wait to use in my next film!
How are you fearless?
Love Always,
Jamie Monahan
