WHAT FAMESICK TAUGHT US ABOUT AMBITION

Hey Daughters! ✨

Lock in. We are discussing Famesick, the beautifully self aware memoir by the voice of our generation - Lena f*cking Dunham. Naturally, I asked Christina Read, fellow Girls rewatcher anddddd the girl I admired most in college/throughout my 20s, to breakdown the biggest takeaways from miss Dunham’s best selling autobiography. We sprinkle in revelations from our twenties living in NYC along the way because one thing about Lena is, she will make a girl REFLECT! Enjoy!!!!
