About Hedda’s Mix Tape
Hello Lovelies, I am so glad you have found me here. YAY!
Hedda's Mix Tape is a newsletter that explores the intersection of the Arts, travel, culture, and women's issues, offering perspectives on today's trends. With a focus on positivity, it blends insightful analysis with an optimistic outlook, encouraging readers to engage thoughtfully with the world around them.
Why a "mix tape"? I am a Gen Xer who has fond memories of making and receiving mix tapes from friends. The curation of a mix tape equals time, energy and care. I plan to curate eclectic content, like how a mixtape blends different songs, genres, or themes to create a personalized experience. I'll share ideas, insights, and where I find inspiration. Just like a mixtape is meant to be shared and enjoyed, the newsletter aims to create a connection, offering a mix of what I find exciting and relevant. Press Play.
