So grateful for our time with @feliciapride today. The knowledge bombs were plentiful. She hit it all - everything from securing IP, shopping agreements, post, pitching, on set producing and more. Authentic and transparent - a wealth of knowledge! #startwith8 #Writers #Creatives

Hi guys, Happy #Juneteenth and Happy #startwith8 Launch Day! Saw a few questions floating around who can and cannot participate so I'll post it here that way there's no confusion:

My heart is full and overjoyed! Thank you to @Cheryl_CLBP, @manondereeper, and @startwith8hwood for an amazing opportunity to be mentored by Karissa Valencia - Netflix showrunner for the upcoming Spirit Rangers. We had an amazing meeting & I'm so grateful. 💛 #Netflix #Startwith8

I just received my #StartWith8 mentor matches. Nice end to the week.

I just signed up for #Startwith8 and my heart is racing. I don't often do things for myself. It felt good to take this step. It was nerve-wracking at first... But it's time to stop living behind barriers, it's time to break some.

As always Carole is 💯 right. I tell all my StartWith8 mentees to network with other pre-WGA writers. It’s crucial. My peers and I have recommended each other for jobs, fellowships, to reps, to execs - you name it! We all rose together because we helped each other!
