I really like her and the emphasis on allowing yourself to be engulfed in the world around you.. gathering stories from real people and shaping them into something new :)

[@daisymaemoses7037]

Ava DuVernay is my definition of creative perfection!!!

[@slickmashable]

She inspires me. She said it's ok to sound crazy as a creative :(

[@xiomanaxoxoxo3212]

Whom ever put this piece together did such a great job.

[@RandomPersonette]

I legitimately love this woman and would watch anything she puts out.

This resonates with me so much. Our creative processes are similar

[@MurphyStudebaker]

That bookstore looks incredible! (The video does too)

[@Antenox]

Oh, you have no idea :) The Last Bookstore is an icon of downtown LA

[@daisymaemoses7037]

I thought the same thing when I saw it...

[@lovewalk101]

Love this! I can relate to so much of it.

[@kmdaye04]

I love Ava.
Her voice isn’t raspy here like it is now.

[@niamenerville2851]

K Daye right i find it so strange how her voice just changeddd

[@kmdaye04]

nia menerville probably some trauma to the vocal chords or throat.

[@MrsCrazyrange]

Sounds raspy to me

[@EisforEvil]

Anyone else noticing the difference between her outside creative and interactive process, and their own lonely dark bedroom without a view?

[@TimothyHalleran]

Great video!

[@producerbeatabuza]
