There’s a reason some of the most revolutionary American companies were founded on the value of QUESTIONS 💡. Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, said, “We run this company on questions, not answers.” Apple trains its Genius Bar experts on the Socratic method (dialogue based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking). QUESTIONS are a game • changer.

This week on PRETTYSMART 💡💋: @jemelehill
Ahead of her memoir UPHILL dropping on October 25th we talked about overcoming a legacy of pain and forging a new path, no matter how uphill life’s battles might be. (We also talked a lot about gender, race, Detroit, and asking for more).
PRETTYSMART with @sineadbovell
Q💡: With a technological revolution on the horizon, what will the future look like? Will it change how we work, gather (concerts, movies, sports) our family structures, social media?
A 💋: Futurist @SineadBovell shares how AI will ignite a new era. She also shares the rules she has set for herself + her brain health around social media: “I think in the future we are going to look at social media the way we look at cigarettes.”
The full episode is on Youtube + anywhere you listen to podcasts.

💡💋 PRETTYSMART: They say there is only one person who gets thanked more than The Academy when people win an Oscar. Can you guess who it is? MOMS.
Here’s the conundrum– America LOVES mothers. But it doesn’t respect them. We glorify the role. But we don’t think it really takes that much to do the job; we don’t value mothering. And yet, our country relies on the unpaid labor that happens within the home.
“The reason we are comfortable expecting care work for free or paying low wages? It’s a direct result of American slavery.” – @angelagarbes
I’m this episode we explore the economic, political and ideological systems that have shaped the way our society sees care work… and why those systems are due for a much needed overhaul. Los Angeles, California
@constancewu is so full— full of empathy, intellect, artistry, perspective, and forgiveness. The full episode is up on the pod and YouTube if you prefer to watch. However you tune in, just do make sure you do; you’ll be better for it.

We persecute people, particularly women in the media.
@EliseLoehnen shared this on @raisinggoodhumanspodcast podcast and it stuck with me: “It’s important for all of us to recognize the cultural pattern of women being brought down who dare to be seen. It’s effectively a shot across the bow for the rest of us. It’s a warning shot of what happens when people pay attention to you, you become visible, when you express yourself or gifts to the world. We can say I don’t have anything to do with Meghan Markle or Anne Hathaway, etc they are celebrities” but in many ways it is the blueprint of persecution for visible women.” Los Angeles, California
Q💡: With innovation + technology on everyone’s mind right now, what does our future look like?

•MOTHAS• As author @angelagarbes puts it in her bestselling book Essential Labor: “Mothering is some of the only truly essential work humans do…without us taking care of children and the sick, our society shuts down.” She says mothering is a social responsibility, one that requires “robust community support.”
