“Everyone’s got a story. There’s always something to learn in every moment.” Honored on Forbes x Know Your Value ’s fourth annual “50 Over 50” list, Ava DuVernay continues to inspire with her powerful storytelling and relentless drive. Ava didn’t pick up a camera until she was 32, but she’s since shattered barriers as a filmmaker, becoming the first Black woman to direct a $100M film. In a conversation with ForbesWomen’s Maggie McGrath, Ava shared how her grandmother’s words—“If you’re bored, you’re boring”—fuel her curiosity and creativity every day. Life is a spectacle, and there’s always something new to discover. Her advice? Embrace each moment, learn from it, and keep pushing forward. https://lnkd.in/dXGyBJsF

NEW: See the Joe Scarborough music video Mika Brzezinski wants every voter to watch ⏰
This week on #MorningMika, I have a very special treat for you: My husband, Joe Scarborough, the host of Morning Joe, is a musician, but you may not know his background. Joe grew up in church communities in the Deep South. His mother had a master’s in music and worked as a music director and organist at churches while Joe was growing up. She taught him piano in between his church choir practices and Bible studies. He always loved writing rock songs, but it was gospel music from both white and Black churches that came most naturally to him as a writer. He’s private about his music, but when I heard a song he recorded this summer called "No Guarantees," I encouraged him to record and share the song about the importance of standing up and doing what’s needed to save democracy. Inspired by a Richard Cohen Washington Post column from 20 years ago that described the peaceful life of Jews at a German summer camp the year before the Holocaust began, Joe wrote "No Guarantees" as both a warning and a song of hope. I wanted you to hear it. Join me in watching and sharing this important message 👇 and remember you can make a difference this November at the voting booth 💪 Many thanks to this amazing group of singers and musicians 😍 : Roz Brown, Keisha Whitney, Jeremy Kelsey, Deirdre Fields, Dachonne Nicole, Tanesha Gary, Mike Hammond, Anita Wells, Shaina Kitchener, Tawana Shaver, James Alexander, Troy Weekes, Mitch Matlock #NoGuarantees #NewMusicFriday #MorningJoe #JoeScarborough #GoVote Know Your Value
