Had the most soothing and restorative experience at @lightweleavebehind this past Saturday evening in the Arts District on the edge of downtown LA - a really lovely immersive combination of art installation and live concert. Here’s the snow lounge where the audience is welcomed with tea and meditative ambient music. Highly recommend!💡🌊🎶 taken in Arts District of Los Angeles by @melindahsula

Hear her tips for becoming a leader people will move mountains for.

A sneak preview of the @leadwkindness season 2 vodcast! More to come soon, and it’s been a pleasure to see these workshop episodes coming together in post thanks to the outstanding editing of Saleem Aziz. @jonathanjordanmedina and @courtneyscheuerman were just two of the ten awesome actors who collaborated on these ten episodes - so grateful!

So fun to talk with my longtime agent @theannblanchard at @creativeartistsagency yesterday to give a @leadwithkindness presentation to their intern cohort! In addition to the many folks with us in LA, we had a crop from CAA in New York City and CAA offices in half-dozen other cities Zooming in. Inspiring and uplifting to meet these college seniors who are going to change the world - so grateful to have them join the kindness revolution! And big thanks to my manager @cerfreport for the photos and support as always, along with my unstoppable lawyer Dave Ryan! Dream team of reps.

So, I’ve been on the @wgawest Board of Directors for the last two years and I’m running for re-election so that I can continue advocating for safe, respectful, humane workplaces built around transparency and accountability. If you’re a WGA member, I would be grateful for your endorsement on my candidate webpage! (Link in bio.)

My candidate statement is there as well, for a window into my thoughts on kindness and leadership. Thank you for considering!
