Chicago born and raised Shonda Rhimes is a force to be reckoned with in the industry and last year she released a book titled “Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person.”
On Monday(2/15) she delivered her #TEDtalk “My year of saying yes to everything” to kick off the sold out $8,500/person TED2016: Dream Conference.
