Last year, Steph and I took a business planning class for artists. At one session, our facilitator led us through a resources exercise. We went around the room, and each person shared two things: something they could teach and something they wanted to learn. At the end of the exercise, it was clear that as a group we had far more capacity, expertise and opportunity than we realized.

This feels like a moment for some version of the teach/learn exercise. We are all in this boat, and we’re all being tossed around by some pretty formidable seas. How can we help each other? How can we build resilience?

I remember the first time I picked up a camera.

It was my dad’s JVC Super VHS camcorder, a clunker by today’s standards but a game-changer at the time. I would sneak it out of the closet when my parents weren’t home and make movies with my best friend. We’d prop the camcorder up on a sofa and act out scenes between our Barbies and homemade popsicle stick people, making up the dialogue as we went along.

When I was a newbie journalist, I suffered from a vicious case of imposter syndrome. It affected pretty much every area of my job, from pitching stories (my ideas are not good enough) to writing scripts (everything I put on paper is terrible).

But there was one area in particular that terrified me: interviewing.
