If you watch tv, chances are you have at least glanced at a Shonda Rhimes show. I loved Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, but got tricked into watching Scandal and How To Get Away with Murder and can’t stop now that I realize that they are evening soap operas. Thanks to Rhimes, the television landscape represents population demographics and not what execs think the masses would like. I wanted to read Rhimes’ Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person because I love autobiographies by notable women.
Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person is more of a self-help book with incidental autobiographical vignettes. It was probably not a good idea to read it immediately after Eartha Kitt’s Confessions of a Sex Kitten. Everything after Kitt’s autobiography pales in comparison. Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person provides solid advice and insight, but I wanted more about her life.
If you enjoy self-help books and Shonda Rhimes, read Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person.
