Current Reading List

I absolutely love reading autobiographies by successful women at the top of their field. Below is a list of what I’m currently reading but some of my favorites from the past year have been Priyanka Chopra’s “Unfinished”, Mindy Kaling’s compilation of short essays “Nothing Like I Imagined”, and Anna Kendrick’s “Scrappy Little Nobody”.

LifePass by Payal Kadakia

I joined Payal’s dance company, Sa, in 2016 and since then have always looked up to her for mindset, ambition, and success. What I’ve loved about her book so far is that despite her being in a different field from me I can completely relate to so many of the things she felt. I’ve actively used her book this month to bring clarity to my goals and take stock of what I’ve achieved thus far.

The Slight Edge by Jeff Olsen

The main premise of this book is that rather than singular events that change careers, it’s the steady and consistent “slight edge” you cultivate over time using discipline that will get you further in life. Especially in the world of acting where we are constantly “waiting for a big break” it’s healthy to take stock and remember that it’s the small actions over time that take you to the next level.

My Life in Full by Indra Nooyi

I grew up hearing this name often by my mom as a prime example of the American Dream. I found it particularly inspiring to hear how Indra Nooyi bet on herself every single step of the way and surrounded herself by people that were willing to lift her up. She was so impressive that people couldn’t help but notice and support her.
