Episode 19 : Andrea Spinelli
“The magic part is what I believed in. It makes you believe in yourself and I had to believe in myself in order to do the things I did.”
Andrea Spinelli is a storyteller who has used her gift of writing, producing, researching, being curious and making people feel comfortable to create commercials, documentaries, films and events. She’s been an entrepreneur since 1973 when she founded Studio 27. Since then she’s learned how to survive loss, the pressures of taking care of a family, and overcome decades of sexism in the corporate world. She’s also my great aunt and one of the first Powerful Ladies I ever got to meet. On this episode she shares when she first started to campaign against injustice, the women’s movement through the decades of her life, and where she’s found her strength to keep going.
