In which our Diva has a little classical fun
Shakespeare Week is a UK-based educational initiative (put together by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust), but enough of it happens online that it's pretty inevitable people would pick up on it overseas.
Like me.
To that end, in lieu of my usual trying-to-be-weekly vlog efforts, I've been posting a short "mono-vlogue" each day. You can check out my full Shakespeare playlist over there, or begin at the beginning with Monday's take on Portia's famous "quality of mercy" speech from The Merchant of Venice.
Hope you enjoy! Do give a nod to the Bard this week in celebration, will you?

#DearMe
In which our Diva sends a message in an imaginary digital bottle to her teen self
Dear Me,
You are a Smart Kid, and a Pollyanna, and a nerd, and a skinny girl, and getting taller seemingly by the minute, and watching people flip out about this sex thing with no small degree of bafflement.
This is for you.
Love,
Val

But if you could go back in time, what wisdom would you share with your teenage self? It all starts with two words. Dear Me.
