Small World..Fun Show!

Have you guys seen the new iVillage Live show yet?

I want you all to check it out and not because I am towing the company line here but because my dear friend Adora is working on the show as a producer and watching it yesterday made me so proud to know her. She is real woman's woman. Bright, funny, and knows just what women are feeling and thinking. She is one of the most quality human beings I know. And we also have a past together....

Adora was one of the first people to believe in me here in Hollywood. I met her and her former producing partner, Ramey, when I first landed here in LA LA land. They saw in me a young woman who was hell bent on changing stereotypes and expressing my voice...without apology. Without changing the outer shell of who I am. We did a television project together and all throughout our process - Adora made sure that my authenticity was protected.

Obviously that is a rare quality to find in Hollywood...authenticity. And not because everyone here is a spawn of the devil (ha!) but because this industry is primarily about fantasy and story-telling and making everything feel just enough out of your reach so that you are more inclined to spend money to buy a product to get what you think you should already have. Is this making any sense?? :)

But to meet a woman who embraced other women in such a genuine way was refreshing. I never felt the pressure to conform or drastically change who I am. I have countless other female friends in this town who would tell you another story. I am a curvy girl in Hollywood and she embraced me without question!

I found the show to be fun, hectic, exciting, and informative - just like our lives! I'll be appearing on it throughout next year and will always keep you posted on that through this blog. But if you have a chance to see it in your area or watch it online www.ivillagelive.com- do so. Cause you are not only watching a groovy show but you are supporting the work of a woman who supports all of us! :)

I saw it on Monday!
What fun it is. I really liked the show and can't wait to see you on it! You are an inspiration and I am glad this producer saw that!

Yes!
I watched this week and I like it a lot.
Glad she believed in you, too. She's smart. LOL

I found the show delightful also. My only concern is that they fly through the segments. I would love to see more time spent on the topics. But I love the interactive moments. How wonderful to actually talk back to the TV show and have them respond. I am also enjoying your blogs. You are talking my language. Thank you.

I'm so excited we'll be seeing more of you! I love seeing your segments on the Today Show!

Jess, I just found this site yesterday, and your website too and have spent a good portion of my night and day just scouring it.

I'm so glad there's someone like you out there!
