Regardless of whether you are celebrating a graduation this year, I wanted to share one of my all time favorite commencement speeches with you by the one and only J.K. Rowling at Harvard University in 2008. It's an oldie but goodie, and I dare you to listen without being sparked by inspiration to take a step, however small and shy, towards your own dream.
It's that time of year again. College graduation ceremonies are everywhere, and even though it's been many years since I've walked across the stage in a cap and gown myself, I can't help but feel giddy at the sight of proud graduates clutching diplomas, surrounded by their proud family and friends. I love so much about the ritual of graduation, and top on my list is a good commencement speaker.

AuthorMy name is Melissa and I'm an actor, writer, and teaching artist who never really left my playful seven year old self behind. I'm also passionate about sustainable creativity - we must take care of ourselves in a holistic way if we want to keep thriving as an artist. What does being creative mean to you? How do you play every day? This is a space for taking a break, a breath, and finding ways to flex our imagination and find the joy where we can. No one is going to present us with a ready made creative life--we have to step up and gift it to ourselves. I'm so glad you're here. Categories
