You’re Not Really Starting From Scratch
Today, we're starting from scratch. But it's always been in you.
Hey, Muse!
I remember the first time I had to go in front of an audience. Well, sort of…
The year was 2005, and I was a dancer in The Wizard of Oz. Or… so they say. I can’t remember — I was only 3 years old. But apparently, I got up on that stage and did my own thing.
The other young dancers and I were supposed to be sleeping in the poppy field, you know the scene.
But lil ole Mycah? She decided she was going to dance to the beat of her own drums.
In ‘09, I starred in my first musical, Rock Around the Block. And by 2013, I was delivering my fifth grade graduation speech.
Little did I know that spark I felt the first time I got in front of an audience would set the course for where I am today — a playwright, journalist, singer-songwriter and now, a media founder.
Starting Without a Manual is today.
And for me?
It’s a culmination of everything I’ve worked toward so far — and everything that’s just getting started.
I’m hosting this conversation with five of my muses — women who are navigating their careers in real time, with experiences worth learning from.
If you’ve been following along, there’s still time to be in the room.
And you can still RSVP!
