On This Day In Women’s History:

November 21, 1906: Mary Ellen Bute was born.

Mary Ellen Bute, the foremost innovator of abstract animation beginning in the early 1930’s and a world pioneer in electronic imagery, made her 1952 film “Abstronic” among the world’s first films to use electronically generated imagery.

🌹 The Remarkable Career Transition of Melissa Richardson

Melissa Richardson, a notable figure in modeling and floral design, embarked on a significant career shift at the age of 55. After leading the Take 2 modeling agency for nearly 30 years, she transitioned into floral design with Jam Jar Flowers, focusing on creating exquisite floral arrangements for various South London events and clients.

Her departure from her longstanding career triggered a period of identity loss and emotional challenges. With almost three decades entrenched in the agency world, Melissa's job had become intertwined with her sense of self, making the transition disconcerting and demanding. Overcoming feelings of vulnerability and depression initially, Melissa found comfort and renewed purpose in launching the flower business, offering a sense of therapeutic anticipation.

Throughout her journey, Melissa's husband provided unwavering support, especially during her tenure managing the modeling agency. Initially perplexed by her exit from the fashion scene, her children now value the increased time spent together in adulthood.

Melissa encourages individuals, especially women in their fifties, to embrace career changes fearlessly. She emphasizes the stimulating and enriching experience of starting anew and highlights the wisdom and life experiences that make older individuals well-equipped for new endeavors.

Until tomorrow,
