Career Girls — Karen Corday

On Being Studios

Career Girls is a love letter to the friendships that shape us in our formative years, and the nostalgia that accompanies us once we’ve grown out of them. The indie movie follows Annie and Hannah, college friends who reunite for the first time since they graduated six years ago. Karen Corday, a writer, was the same age as the characters when she first saw the movie. She says it helped her feel seen and comforted to know that her experiences “just living as a person in the world” were worth exploring. Karen Corday writes about feelings, songs, movies, relationships, memories, old things, karaoke, and books. Her writing has appeared in publications like “Brooklyn Magazine,” “The Washington Post,” and Brit + Co. You can find the beautifully insightful piece she wrote about “Career Girls” on her website karencorday.com. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at https://onbeing.org/tmcmletter/
