What did I wish I knew?  Does anybody else struggle with this? Why did nobody tell me it would be like this?

Artists are entrepreneurs, and it requires the best of our business skills to carve out successful careers. But what about the real, human challenges we face as we strive to bring art into the world? How do we get to the heart behind the hustle? Dunamis’ Alison Wade Masterclass Series invites creative entrepreneurs of all disciplines to share the hard and human lessons, challenges and successes they’ve faced on their road to artistic excellence.

Join us in conversation with our first master, New York Times Bestselling Author and Screenwriter Namina Forna. Namina will discuss how to press on and remain authentic in the face of rejection, trauma, and challenges to your mental health.

This event will be followed a book signing.

The Allison Wade Masterclass Series is presented by Dunamis Inc. in partnership with Grubstreet.
