Passion = The Arts
“As a culture, we are getting further…people are more interested in who can get the job done versus “we’ve never had a woman director.” Women will have done a substantial amount. Creating more, initiating more, generating more.”
Maria Lundberg

Passion = Writing
“My mother was my role model, but not for the reasons most people think. There was no money for her to attend college. To meet her…she’s probably the most educated person I know. She read like crazy and continued to learn her entire life. She was amazing and knew all kinds of things. She was an incredible musician, wrote poetry and loved to learn.”
