The author has interviewed so many talented womxn from all over the world about how they got started in their career. Bonney chimed in with some awesome insight, as well.A lovely human gifted this book to me a while ago and realised I should really share it with you all here. The sold-out event was co-hosted by AIGA Philadelphia and was one of their most well-attended to date, bringing nearly 400 women together in an auditorium at Moore College of Art and Design to hear from Bonney and the panelists about the challenges and joys of being an entrepreneur in the creative sphere, and a woman in general.ĭuring the discussion, the panelists shared some wisdom on being a woman in the arts in the City of Brotherly love (ahem, time for a rebranding?), getting candid on everything from what they dreamed of becoming as children (Indiana Jones, for example) to the real deal on competitive colleagues. Corzo-Duchardt and Miller and both featured in the book, and Owen's floral arrangements, and her studio makeover, have appeared on Design*Sponge. She was joined by Cuban-American artist Veronica- Corzo-Duchardt, cookbook author and pastry chef Klancy Miller, floral designer Sullivan Owen and Kimberly Glyder, an illustrator who focuses on book covers.
