The stories she tells are not deferential or naively inspirational but show the love, magic, heartbreak, insanity, and vulgarity that infuse the day-to-day lives of her subjects. She finds the nation of singular, effervescent characters often reduced in the media to political pawns or nameless laborers. Looking beyond the flashpoints of the border or the activism of the DREAMers, Cornejo Villavicencio explores the lives of the undocumented-and the mysteries of her own life. So she wrote her immigration lawyer's phone number on her hand in Sharpie and embarked on a trip across the country to tell the stories of her fellow undocumented immigrants-and to find the hidden key to her own. It was right after the election of 2016, the day she realized the story she'd tried to steer clear of was the only one she wanted to tell. Writer Karla Cornejo Villavicencio was on DACA when she decided to write about being undocumented for the first time using her own name. One of the first undocumented immigrants to graduate from Harvard reveals the hidden lives of her fellow undocumented Americans in this deeply personal and groundbreaking portrait of a nation.

Friedman, a journalist originally from Iowa, lives in Los Angeles).Īuthors Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman Milan Zrnic (Though they both lived in Washington, DC, when a mutual friend first introduced them, Sow, a digital strategist born in Guinea and raised in Nigeria, Belgium and France, now lives in Brooklyn. Since 2014, Sow and Friedman have co-hosted “ Call Your Girlfriend,” their popular podcast with hundreds of thousands of listeners per episode, where they explore life, culture, politics and more through the lens of their long-distance friendship. The casual observer might think something like this would be easy for two successful women already famous for being friends. It turns out, these friends needed to forge a bond defined by their differences, and an ability to communicate about them clearly and repeatedly. It hasn’t always been easy, but their friendship has endured in part because of their ability to disrupt what linguist Deborah Tannen has called “the story of sameness,” the way some friends – especially women – bond over their similarities. What began so magically after a mutual friend invited them to a watch party for the prom episode grew into a relationship that has helped define their adulthoods and careers. Even though their shared love of “Gossip Girl” sparked a friendship that changed their lives forever, Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman are here to tell you that lifelong bonds don’t have to be about what you and the other person have in common – often, it’s the opposite.

Either way, my view of myself will be reinforced. If I don’t, the likelihood is that I will fail more often than I succeed. Research shows that high-self-esteem subjects will persist at a task significantly longer than low self-esteem subjects.1 If I persevere, the likelihood is that I will succeed more often than I fail. With low self-esteem, I am more likely to give up or go through the motions of trying without really giving my best. With high self-esteem, I am more likely to persist in the face of difficulties. More specifically, self-esteem is:ġ- Confidence in our ability to think, confidence in our ability to cope with the basic challenges of life andĢ- Confidence in our right to be successful and happy, the feeling of being worthy, deserving, entitled to assert our needs and wants, achieve our values, and enjoy the fruits of our efforts.

I love how Savannah is laid out with 9 city squares remaining, it’s a grid system but it still retains its quaint southern charm. Saw a church which was part of the Underground Railroad and I got goosebumps. The next day had breakfast at the hotel which was awesome and went out with Ellie and Erin to River Street, The city market, Baptist church, and explored all the squares. Went back to the hotel and played Cards against Humanity with Emma, Bec, Paddy, Ellie and Erin. Wish I’d stayed longer, he announced he was gonna take a break and then I had to leave with Emma and Bec. Serious eye contact going on while he played my jam – Ignition by R Kelly. Went to a rooftop bar afterwards near the markets and fell in love with the guy playing the guitar there. Had dinner at Paula Deen’s restaurant which is supposed to be like a southern version of Nigella Lawson I think – just good southern comfort food, was pretty good but not amazing. Got to Savannah in the afternoon and went for a walk with Ellie before dinner.

She's been shown with strong reading comprehension, has figured out how to operate an automobile all on her own and has been hinted to be potentially the best natural musician in the family - with episodes that tease the future suggesting she could grow up to become a world-famous rock star.
