WGG Women's HERstory Month Inspiration Session: My year of saying yes to everything | Shonda Rhimes

The next WGG Inspiration Session where all GumGummers are encouraged to join in is here - and this one is extra special as we're celebrating Women's HERstory Month at GumGum and listening to INSPIRING women across all sectors of media, tech & more throughout the month. 

For those newer to GumGum, our Inspiration Sessions led by Women of GumGum are an opportunity for us to slow down, listen to an inspiring podcast or TedTalk and (optional) open up to a round table discussion on what we've just watched. These take place on a quarterly basis.

In our effort to build a more equitable and inclusive culture at GumGum, these sessions allow our non-female allies to join in on these discussions, foster conversations in a safe space and build on our continued learning & unlearning.


For this session, we’ll watch a TedTalk on My year of saying yes to everything with Shonda Rhimes (18mins)


About the Speaker:


Shonda Rhimes, the titan behind Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder, is responsible for some 70 hours of television per season, and she loves to work. "When I am hard at work, when I am deep in it, there is no other feeling," she says. She has a name for this feeling: The hum. The hum is a drug, the hum is music, the hum is God's whisper in her ear. But what happens when it stops? Is she anything besides the hum? In this moving talk, join Rhimes on a journey through her "year of yes" and find out how she got her hum back.


Bring your coffee, lunch, etc., and let's get inspired!
