In the past year I have learned more than I can begin to explain about building your career. I have met some amazing people and acquired some amazing mentors.
(and by acquire I mean Twitter stalking–leaving these poor people with no choice but to address me)
Last week I had a lovely conversation about where I am headed in the future. She was a pleasure to speak to and gave me some great advice. One of the things that she suggested I do is get some experience in Traditional Media.
I have been stuck on this idea for the rest of the week. I had always planned on using my digital media background and simply building upon it. Is this to naive? Is it essential to have both traditional and digital experience? Is it better to choose an area or niche and carve a defined place for yourself?
I know that many people are working their way into digital media. I realize that the number of people working to get into the field will continue to grow. So maybe traditional media is the way to go?
I would love to hear your thoughts.
One of my faveorite professors attended a feminist movement conference last week. She mentioned that there was a whole session devoted to mommy blogging. In that moment I felt my two worlds collide. I talk with mommy bloggers. I work with mommy blogger. I would consider myself part of the mommy blogger community.
So why is mommy blogging a feminist movement?
Women for the first time in history are given the opportunity to scream out their frustrations. To name their faults. To show their true colors. To intertwine with other mothers, other women. They are coming together to show their scars. To admit that motherhood isn’t always rainbows and flowers. That we struggle and we fall.
That is feminism at it’s best.
