13 (wow) years ago tonight @pberg44 changed my life. I was living out of a suitcase in my girlfriends apartment when I got the call that I’d be moving to Austin.
I called the surgery center where I worked as a scrub nurse and told them I’d be leaving for some football show in Texas but I’ll see you guys again as soon as I’m back.
There was no way a show about football – that was already a movie – about a player who breaks his neck in the pilot episode is going anywhere but a job is a job amirite!
But it wasn’t about football.
It was about relationships, family, humanity, love and loss.
It was about longing to fit in and wanting to get out.
It was about life in a small town and how a community comes together in good times and bad.
Little did I know I hit the proverbial jackpot and the show would go on for 5 years.
I’m forever grateful.
Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can’t lose.
Texas Forever. 🤘🏼

This new line of jewelry is called The Barbara Collection, designed by yours truly. Barbara was one of the first jewelry makers at ABLE. She taught me how to make jewelry, and we actually co-designed a (Double V) ring together a couple years ago. When I was thinking about a name for this collection I wanted something that honors all the women we work with, and I thought back to Barbara.
She’s overcome so much with addiction yet always exudes such strength, positivity and so much love. She’s now pursuing a bachelors degree in psychology are you kidding me no big deal. Working with her is inspiring to say the least because her past so clearly does not define her future.
It doesn’t for any one of us.
She is a reminder that who we are in any moment does not define us as a whole.
I remember when the jewelry team was just a handful of women, and now there are more than 20 jewelers making everything by hand.
Designing allows me to continue to work alongside women in need of opportunity while helping to create jobs for them all with stories of transformation of their own.
I hope you enjoy these pieces as much as I do.

This is my friend and stunt double, Orphée (@ninjaorf). She makes me look like a bad ass and for her I am so grateful. She makes it look easy and she also makes it fun. Stunt doubles are the unsung heroes of shows like ours. Swipe to see her make kicking ass look pretty in episode 2 of @dcutitans streaming now @thedcuniverse.

Last summer, @rachelpally and I met on a bus trip to the border organized by my friends @thisisabouthumanity.
TIAH identifies the greatest needs of asylum seekers and helps with legal fees, safe housing, and family reunification at the US/Mexico border.
They have raised money to refurbish shelters, build playgrounds, give toys, send food, and provide legal help and medical care.
We designed this dress together to raise money for this cause that is so dear to us.
100% of the net profits from your purchase will be going to This Is About Humanity.
There’s a swipe up to buy action over in my stories if you’d like one for yourself.
We hope you love it as much as we do!
Much love,
Minka Kelly and Rachel Pally

Had some downtime at work so I made a thing.

Update: This has nothing to do with the show. @lov3_abov3_all happened to be grabbing snacks at the same time so I handed him my camera and asked him to film us walking towards him.
FUNNN! YUP this is my favorite @dcutitans duo there that’s it I said it holy shit I love these women ok back to work, byeeeee!
Happy Birthday my Rain.
Thank goodness for you. Thank you for all the ways in which you’ve helped me grow. Thank you for not only supporting me and being there through copious times of thick and thin over all these years but for challenging me to be better when I need it most.
I cherish you and our friendship.
My family.

just putting this here
because it makes me happy
this little guy thought he was broken and it made him weird so I helped make him even more (seemingly) weird
and now he’s perfect the end
it’s called: voilá
Such a good and important read / listen.
A book about strangers and how we understand them.
I highly recommend listening. When Malcom Gladwell references an interview or quotes someone you hear the actual footage or their voice so it feels more like a podcast. Not unlike his own Revisionist History which is so good if you don’t already listen. And he’s just such a good storyteller anyway.

We think we are nuanced and complex and enigmatic but the stranger is easy… Strangers are not easy.
