Many writers have attempted to write profiles of this woman, but nobody has quite gotten it right. It’s like no matter how deep they dig, the best they could come up with is still…
Sarah Lite.

Because it feels like you can never quite know her,
like it is only she who holds that elusive lexicon that can strip all the layers to get to the core of the many complexities of Sarah Meier.

For she’s got a unique rhythm in her words,
a head-bopping beat in her veins,
and a poetic grace in her gait.
(God bless her endless legs.)
An old soul yet a new spirit,
each of her periods is an ommm,
yet her eyes sparkle like exclamation points.

More than just an inspiration, she’s been my catalyst in many ways. For Sarah doesn’t just inspire: she believed in me, served as my megaphone when my own voice couldn’t quite find its courage yet – just as she’s done for many other young aspiring creatives she’s worked with.

I am more than privileged to share her wisdom with all of you on the first day of 2013 —
Check out my full interview with Sarah Meier here. 

Still not getting better at any of this. Hah.

Trust in your talent. Go. Start something. Do. Keep doing. In a generation of empowered multi-hyphenates, the only go signal you’ll ever need is the one coming from yourself.

This is one of the biggest things I learned this year, and this, to me, is what Sarah Meier-Albano, Vicky Herrera, and their book ‘Unscripted’ are all about.

I chatted with S & V about this new venture of theirs; the whole interview can be found here. My favorite part is The Dating Game, where they answer questions about their interviewees, such as: What would Gang Badoy ask Imelda Marcos, and how would the former First lady respond? How would Mr. Ryan Cayabyab jam with Masta Plann? What do Lourd de Veyra and Kuya Germs have in common?

One of my most favorite interviews to date (a very close second to Norman Black!).

The UNSCRIPTED BOOK LAUNCH (and exhibit and book signing) is on December 15, Thursday, at Fully Booked - Bonifacio High, 6PM to 9PM. I’ll be there with the whole co.lab family, hope you can also come through to support!
