“So much of what I do is a result of what I’m interested in and who I am and what values I have. Then when it comes time to be like, who am I outside of what I do? I’m like .. well I’m what I do. And I think that’s been a really big sticking point for me.”
— Emily Torres
“I think a lot of my work has been on the emotional and internal side but I am very actively using Notion now to try to help with my tasks and my ideas.”
— Emily Torres
“With my creativity it’s really kind of like a reclamation as well as a relinquishment, because I need to let go of the things that I can’t control.”
— Emily Torres
