One of my 2018 resolutions was to get the PMP certification. I studied for 3 months and got the certification with a really high score. It was awesome to see on the screen: CONGRATULATIONS! I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t sure what to feel first: happiness, relief, or exhaustion.

If you don’t know me yet, I’m all about sharing learning and giving tips. After I got the certification a bunch of people asked me some questions so I decided to write a blog post to help you all in your journey!

I’m addicted to TED Talks. It’s a ritual; every morning I watch at least one. I watched this talk with Naomi McDougall Jones, an award-winning writer, actress, producer, and women-in-film activist based in New York.

“What we see in movies matters: it affects our hobbies, our career choices, our emotions and even our identities. Right now, we don’t see enough women on the screen or behind the camera — but waiting for Hollywood to grow a conscience isn’t going to fix the problem”, says Naomi McDougall Jones.

I naturally look for movies directed by women, and I decided to share my favorites with you! If you’re interested in a list of female filmmakers, you can find them here. If you sign up for FilmStruck like me, you can also check those out here!
