yeah advertising sucks - i also imagined the c-suite and thought maybe i'd get there in advertising but god i felt even more out of place than i think i would have in the world of finance because marketing people felt so fake. that photo of you at the bar killed me haha
I’d planned to major in English, but a racist junior high teacher during the first year of desegregation put paid to that. Instead, I chose music, where both art and intellect are valued, and never looked back. Until later, in the same writing program as Sukriti. Congrats on this new substack venture🎉

😂 No surer way to make someone flee into the creative arts!
Ah, many more embarrassing photos coming up 😎
My husband also likes to “relax” by “learning” about the economy. 🙄
😂 So earnest and cute they are

How did I not know this story! So inspirational. ♥️ And a boon to the worlds of art and writing.
Thanks, Yvonne, and hope you’re doing well!
So happy we didn't lose you and your creativity as a writer to the world of high finance.
I think the world of high finance would’ve fired me pretty rapidly, Bill 😂
