- São Joaquim NS: How did you personally move the needle in 2020? AD: In 2020 I released my first book, What Would Frida Do? Inspired by the life of Frida Kahlo, it’s part-biography, part-self-help, a look at the lessons we can learn from Frida, a feminist, boundary-breaking artist who lived her life so far ahead of her time.
- Shāhzādpur NS: How did you deal with the stress in the world in 2020? AD: I tried my best to be gentle with myself and listen to my body. On the days I just wanted to be in sweatpants and feel the weight of the world, I let myself do that with a Netflix binge on the couch. But other days I tried to stay active and find a new routine. A new normal!
- NS: Do you have any advice for your younger self? AD: Don’t be afraid to use your voice. You have so many important things to say!
- NS: What did you do in 2020 that you’re the most passionate about? AD: Definitely, releasing my book What Would Frida Do. It was a labor of love, and one that I hope readers will be passionate about while reading it!
- NS: What was the worst part of 2020 for you? AD: Definitely, the anxiety around the coronavirus pandemic and not knowing what the future holds while also constantly worrying about my own health as well as my loved ones.
- NS: What was the best part of 2020 for you? AD: The extra time, space, and quiet to get to know myself again.
- NS: What does success mean to you? AD: Being able to use my platform to inspire other women, and particularly women of color, to go after their dreams.
- NS: What causes are important to you? AD: Any cause that fights for inclusivity and diversity and reminds the world of the importance of amplifying all voices.
- NS: Do you think the world right now needs to be influenced by what they can get or what they can give in the middle of this pandemic? AD: I think one thing that’s become clear in 2020 is how much we all need each other, so I hope one of the great lessons we all take away from this upside down year is to take a little less and give a little more.
