Wear Many Hats Episode 119 — Claire Salinda

Hey everyone it’s Rashad and this is Wear Many Hats presented by Dahsar where we talk about your main gig then we talk about your side hustle.

Claire Salinda is a writer, tarot reader, and consultant on Creative Operations.

Claire also volunteers as the Executive Committee Secretary for the Surfrider Foundation.

I met Claire at the Canal Street market slinging coffees and it was nice to meet her while she was working over at Buffy and freelanced for Human NYC.

Claire’s recent projects include partnering with Daily Harvest as a consulting director of creative operations, advising Social Works on their hiring and onboarding practices as they made their first full-time hire, contracting with BEST as the thought partner to their Creative Director/Founder.

Claire’s writing work has appeared in Thrillist, Active Spaces and Pen and Ink: The Tattoos and stories behind them.

I was close to getting my tarot read by Claire but chose to play basketball instead.

Please welcome Claire Salinda to Wear Many Hats.

You’re studying right now to get your MFA right?

Congrats on your essay, The Marble, for The Missouri Review.

It’s a true story?

I immediately thought of the film, Swallow.

The shopping for rocks part I felt seen. I currently wear a ring that contains Onyx as a protector from evil. I get vibrations of willpower, focus, and strength. I feel grounded. I sound like someone who lives in Brooklyn or upstate New York.

I love that you found comfort within water. I always feel whole when I’m in water. Maybe that’s why I take so many baths. I used to be on the swim team and always felt connected with other swimmers and looked good in a Speedo.

Good Reads

I saw on your Good Reads that you are reading Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection. I need to read that because I’m also going through back pain. Wow we’re getting old.

Hats off

Hats off to you and everything that you do, for some Dahsar Wear Many Hats solutions, would you ever write a book?

Ending

If you were to get a chest tattoo quote what would it be?

Plug your socials where can people find you?

Till next time this is Wear Many Hats presented by Dahsar and I’m Rashad Peace!
