This week on the podcast Melissa Grelo, cohost of The Social and cofounder of marQ Designs, is here talking about filming the show from home, the post-COVID future of TV, her experience as a woman of colour, anti-racism allyship (genuine vs performative), why she left her teaching career for television,what’s coming next for her gender-neutral kids’ clothing line, how The Social has changed over seven seasons, her pandemic puppy…and more!
Also in this episode, I recommend three great nonfiction book picks:
I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown
Joy at Work: Organizing Your Professional Life by Marie Kondo and Steven Sonenshein
Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand
…and I share three very important parenting tips for the COVID-19 return to school:
1. Rely on trusted sources of information
2. Do what’s best for your family
3. Communicate and assume good intentions
I elaborate on all three tips in the show.
