Writer Phoebe Robinson on "You Can鈥檛 Touch My Hair"
Create from joy - Phoebe Robinson believes great creative work comes from a place of joy
There鈥檚 a commonly held belief that great creative work comes from pain. But comedian and writer Phoebe Robinson says that this is a myth. Instead, Phoebe believes great creative work comes from a place of joy. As Phoebe shares her personal story of writing her debut essay collection, You Can鈥檛 Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain, she draws on the things that bring her the most joy in life, whether it鈥檚 her Peloton bike, or her obsession with the band U2. Her joy is what allows her to hone her unique creative voice, which she describes as having 鈥渁 lot of pop culture references, but there鈥檚 also some smarty smarty pants stuff that鈥檚 going on.鈥� Phoebe will inspire you to tap into what brings you joy, whatever it may be, and use it as fuel to create 鈥� and have fun doing it.
