Her Interview

Ten minutes with Annie

01What do you attribute your success to?

Sobriety opened up a whole other pathway for me. There's absolutely no way I would have been able to do what I've done without being sober.

02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Focus on what's coming from within, not the attention that's coming to you.

03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

AI is changing everything and creating artificial creative intelligence. Opportunity is a boom in live in-person art like poetry in coffee shops and live music for human connection.
