Our newsletter is called “Take 5 with Amanda.” It’s a weekly digest about the stories we tell, the systems through which we tell them, and why it matters.

It’s a privilege to be in your inbox and we take that privilege seriously. We write every email with care and with the aim of adding real value.

"A story carves deep grooves into our brains each time we tell it. But we aren't one story. We can change our stories. We can write our own."

Amy Poehler
"We become what we behold. We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.”

Marshall McLuhan
"When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed, but when we are silent we are still afraid, so it is better to speak."

Audre Lorde
“You can't be what you can't see.”

Marian Wright Edelman
"When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful."

Malala Yousafzai
“Americans no longer talk to each other, they entertain each other. They do not exchange ideas, they exchange images.

Neil Postman
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."

Maya Angelou
"Every story that I tell as a woman is a political act, even if I want to tell a 'silly love story.' The fact it exists through my gaze is radical.”

Ava DuVernay
