11 Women You Need to Learn From on Masterclass
I know you’ve heard about Masterclass before, but in case you haven’t: Masterclass is an online platform where you can buy a one year membership to get unlimited access to incredible courses from experts in just about every field. If you watched the panel I was on for the BlogHer Winning Women Series, you know that I took a Judy Blume Masterclass on writing, and so I wanted to share with you some of my favorite Masterclasses taught by women. (And there are a lot!)
1. Judy Blume (Writing)
Take Judy Blume’s Masterclass here!
This was the first Masterclass I ever took. Judy covers things like how to find an idea and how to develop a character that people will be emotionally invested in.
2. Issa Rae (Creating Outside the Lines)
Take Issa Rae’s Masterclass here!
Listen. Issa Rae is the best writer ever and I won’t hear a word otherwise. Watching Insecure feels like a masterclass in creative writing itself, but Issa went ahead and gave us an actual Masterclass too.
3. Roxanne Gay (Writing for Social Change)
Take Roxanne Gay’s Masterclass here!
There’s a writing course for everyone. In this Masterclass, Roxanne Gay shares the skill of writing specifically for social change.
4. Alicia Keys (Songwriting and Producing)
Take Alicia Keys’s Masterclass here!
Girl you know I adore Alicia Keys. She has a Masterclass in songwriting and producing and even if you’re not interested in songwriting or producing, this is a fascinating behind the scenes look into Alicia’s process.
5. Robin Roberts (Effective and Authentic Communication)
Take Robin Roberts’s Masterclass here!
Robin teaches a Masterclass on effective and authentic communication and I don’t know about you but I think this is a course everyone should take. Whether you’re looking to enhance your communication skills for your personal or professional life, this will give you everything you need.
6. Kelly Wearstler (Interior Design)
Take Kelly Wearstler’s Masterclass here!
Anyone else becoming super obsessed with interior design now that we’ve been stuck in our houses for a full year? This class will get your creative juices flowing. By the end of it, you’ll have those Pinterest boards for home projects all fired up and you’ll walk away with a better understanding of what designs bring you joy and comfort.
7. Sara Blakely (Self-Made Entrepreneurship)
Take Sara Blakely’s Masterclass here!
You may not know the name Sara Blakely, but you do know (and love) Spanx. Sara Blakely is the inventor and founder and in this Masterclass she shows you the behind the scenes of how she built her business and all the lessons she learned along the way about self-made entrepreneurship.
8. Shonda Rhimes (Writing for Television)
Take Shonda Rhimes’s Masterclass here!
Honestly, if you need a blurb to convince you to watch a Masterclass from Shonda Rhimes, you don’t deserve to watch a Masterclass from Shonda Rhimes.
9. Dr. Jane Goodall (Conservation)
Take Dr. Jane Goodall’s Masterclass here!
When I told you they have a Masterclass for everything, I meant it. This one is all about conservation and there’s nobody better to learn from than Dr. Jane Goodall. She talks about everything from her work, to extinction, to climate change.
10. Serena Williams (Tennis)
Take Serena Williams’s Masterclass here!
You can’t get personal tennis lessons from Serena Williams, but you can watch her Masterclass. She breaks down the basics for you and also shares some insight into how she prepares for competitions.
11. Simone Biles (Gymnastics Fundamentals)
Take Simone Biles’s Masterclass here!
You might not want to actually try gymnastics, but any time you have an opportunity to learn from an Olympian… you do it. Especially when she’s a four-time gold medalist.
