The first quarter of the year is almost over, have you achieved your reading goals? How many books have you read so far?
As an executive who works from home and with two young children, I felt that having a target was setting up myself for failure. So at the beginning of the year, I set to read more than I did last year. So far, I have read seven books.
‘Brands on a Mission’ by Dr Myriam Sidibe is on how brands can achieve social impact and business growth. Every marketer should read this and listen to her TedTalk, ‘The Simple Power of Handwashing.’ ‘My First Time’ by Janet Mbugua is another book that I have read this quarter. As a woman and a mother of girls, this one hit close to home.

It is rare that as a theater critic I will find an online production by an established theater company to be as good as it gets. That time has come, and I wholly recommend that you crank up your computer, donate $10 to the cause and let yourself cry as actor after actor spill their guts while telling stories of how guns have killed their loved ones.
Despite having so much turmoil (COVID-19, crazy politics, and racial unrest, just to name a few) in our current lives, I commend Hendersonville Community Theatre for producing A Hole In My Heart!, 45 minutes of local actors taking on the roles of survivors from shootings in America.
