Making his triumphant non-SXSW return to Austin Questlove is going to give you not one, not two, but three HOURS of funky, soul-rocking jams from his own personal music collection. Think of it as a trip down memory lane with a Grammy Award-winning artist, only in a room chock full of late night ACLers. Don’t miss Questlove this Saturday, October 13th at the Beauty Ballroom.

Octavia in ELLE.

From ELLE’s 2012 Woman in Hollywood issue:
Octavia Spencer on standing up for herself…
“Early on I had to stand up to a producer – I won’t say who, but he is famous, famous. He dressed me down in a crowded office. I told him right there in front of a hundred people, ‘You don’t know me well enough to use that tone’…And then I ran to the bathroom and cried like a baby. But he never addressed me that way again. And he is known as a yeller.”

Do your own work well, and then you will have something to be proud of. But don’t compare yourself with others.

Miss DeeDee Trotter :) #Olympics2012 #400m
She inspired me to write this. So out of the blue.
At 16, Gabby Douglas knows what it means to persevere. When she moved to Iowa to train full-time with one of the best gymnastics coaches, she was just 14. Gabby left her Virginia Beach home, family and friends to pursue her dream of becoming an Olympic gymnast. Thousands of miles away from all that was familiar to her, Gabby sought out to become the best. But it wasn’t easy. Her family faced financial challenges, and Gabby was homesick. She missed her mother and her siblings. Gabby’s older sister tried to encourage her, telling Gabby not to give up.
And that’s the difference between so many of us and Gabby. When things become too hard, often times we just give up. We say we want something, but we don’t stick it out to the end.
