Once again, Think•ing is my inner monologue reflected back to me, in the very best ways. The notion that maybe we’re not as ready to be seen as we may think when we filter our thoughts (which we serial overthinkers tend to do by default) and that doesn’t necessarily make us inauthentic, we’re just constantly finding our voices over the debris. Thank you so much Taylor. Your bi monthly correspondence makes me feel so seen. ❤️

This is fascinating, Ms. Rooks. Thanks for taking us back to the 1992 Super Bowl halftime and framing it as the powerful, culture-shifting, historical moment it was. I was in middle school in the 90s and I loved "In Living Color," so their halftime show was not to be missed. Incidentally, I also associate 1992 with team USA's Dream Team, which I was super excited about. ;) I was quite the NBA fan girl, I guess. 🏀

Such a great explanation of the origin of the halftime show as we know it today (which, as a 90s baby, I only recently learned). Thank you!

“Its job isn’t to crown relevance. It’s to acknowledge it. Reflecting where culture already is, not deciding where it’s allowed to go.”
