Arianna Davis - Author of What Would Frida Do?: A Guide to Living Boldly - and digital director at Oprah Magazine

February 04, 2021 • Sara Gallagher - she/her • Season 1 • Episode 61

Arianna Davis is the author of What Would Frida Do?: A Guide to Living Boldly, an exploration of the feminist icon’s signature style, outspoken politics, and boldness in love and art, even in the face of pain and heartbreak. She is also the Digital Director at Oprah Magazine.

"A modern take on a woman who was modern beyond her time. Arianna Davis's book paints a colorful picture of the strength, courage, and love that uplifted Frida Kahlo through her many tragedies. This comprehensive look into Frida's life leads me to think that we could all learn a lesson or two from Frida." - Nina Garcia, editor-in-chief of Elle

This Week’s Writing Prompt

I suggest setting a timer for 6 or 8 minutes, putting the writing prompt at the top of your page, and free writing whatever comes to mind. Remember, the important part is keeping your pen moving. Right now we just want to write something new and see what happens.

This week’s writing prompt: If someone in history who is no longer with us were suddenly with you again, what would you say to them or what message would you want to write down and have them read behind you?
