WITI Women | Dana Todd

On a lighter note:

1. If you could have dinner with any 2 people (living or not), who would they be?
My great-grandmother, who came to Texas in a covered wagon (now deceased). I wish I had listened to her stories now. Also, Steve Jobs. I think the combination of historical reference and future-think would be fascinating.

2. What was the last book you read? What books do you love to recommend?
Guilty pleasure: I just read Judy Blume's "Summer Sisters" and thoroughly enjoyed it. It reminded me of how much I loved Judy Blume when I was an insecure little girl, thinking I was the only freak in the world who didn't make cheerleader. Blume was the first writer with whom I really felt connected.

3. If you couldn't do what you are doing now, what profession would you choose?
I'd be a writer, ideally on travel beat!

4. What is your definition of success?
Success is the sound of applause, internal or external. Success is a good night's sleep, knowing you've done an honest day's work. Success is waking up the next morning delighted that the whole thing is starting again.
