How to Cook Up the Perfect Episode with Shonda Rhimes

To learn more about Shonda’s work and life, follow @shondarhimes on Instagram.

TV producer and writer Shonda Rhimes (@shondarhimes) has been writing stories since before she could spell. “I used to dictate stories into a tape recorder and try to get my mom to type them up,” says the woman behind hits like Grey’s Anatomy and How to Get Away with Murder. “I don’t remember, but I’m betting that even at 3, I felt proud.” Today, Shonda’s shows are known for plot twists and sharp dialogue, but there’s no magic formula; she instinctively knows when an episode is complete. “It’s like a good lasagna — you know when it’s done because when you open the oven and look at it, everything about it looks right.”

Yesterday in my meeting I got up to greet these two ladies that I had never met but usually support via email and phone. Their jaws dropped wide open, their eyes glistened and they couldn't find the word hello in their vocabs. I thought to myself: hmmmm, so that's what I look like when I see a good pair of shoes! Now I know...now I know. – Read on Path.

We all have a responsibility when we talk to the people that are younger than us - when we talk to children; when we talk to kids and that kind of stuff - to build them and not to destroy them. Let’s go out and build through our words.

It has become embedded in the Batswana people to name the offsprings and award names that reflect or depict the great work of God. Every Setswana name revolves around the deeds or aspirations and plans of the Almighty. When looking at the names (illustrated) you will learn that every one of the names reflects on the happiness, sadness and hope brought upon by God. Each name is a symbol to the parents of what they want to see from you or what your birth meant at that moment in time.

C,X,Q,V,J,Z (these alphabets do not exist in the Setswana vocabulary) U,H,Y( these alphabets do exist however we do not have names that begin with them).
