Letter #22: The $528 Billion Opportunity

What happens when a woman finally stops performing the version of herself that kept everyone else comfortable? In this letter, Vanessa makes herself the data point, tracing the moment she stopped playing roles that were never hers and what followed when she chose herself instead. Plus what's moving in the economy right now: the K-shaped split most people don't see coming, why women are building a $528 billion creator economy and not always capturing the revenue, and why in-person rooms are becoming the most valuable thing you can offer.
