Brit Marling’s Georgetown Speech Reminds Us: Make Art, Make Friends, Make It Anyway

Brit Marling didn’t just give a commencement speech — she gave a blueprint for creative freedom. In it, she shares how she and her friends stopped chasing permission and started telling their own stories. It’s a rallying cry for every dreamer who’s ever felt lost: make your own path, build your work with people you trust, and never forget the magic of making something out of nothing. If you needed a reason to keep going, this is it.
