Diane Keaton, thank-you for Baby Boom’s JC Wiatt and showing impossible expectations and barriers for women to get their seat at the corporate table and not having it all then and now. As JC says, nobody should have to choose.

Rest in power, Diane! 🕵️‍♀️

I love my morning coffee. Buying less Starbucks and @nespressousa.bsky.social.
