Sophia Bush Instagram – What a year. My whole life I’ve heard the saying “put your own oxygen mask on first” and this year I learned what it meant. This past year humbled me, broke me, built me, betrayed me, freed me, and showed me what it means to really be alive. No more playing small. No more turning my back on myself. No more settling for what falls short because “who am I to ask for more?” This year put me back in my body. I left it a long time ago, in such a way that I forgot what it felt like to inhabit my own skin. I feel my whole self from the tops of my ears to the tips of my toes now. It’s breathtaking. Life giving. Affirming. This year taught me to listen to myself and no one else. To let go of expectation that wounds and grasp possibility that frees. To not care about optics and instead invest in honesty. The truest and deepest and purest kind. This year sent me inward. More than I’ve ever been. It took me out of relationship with many of you but put me back into relationship with myself. I hope you are all doing well, but for this quiet and deeply personal experience I am supremely grateful. This year reminded me that we work like waves. Sometimes we explode in symphonic beauty up front, sometimes we line up at the back of the rolling set, cheering and drumming and watching others make magic as they spray and exclaim ahead of us. Watching from the rear these past months has been a gift. It has been rest and reclamation. I hope you get to experience both, too. I hope you get a year that jolts you. That brings you back from the edge. That gives you medicine. This year the pages of Maggie Smith’s book saved my life. This year I started writing again. Almost every day. I found my inner voice, and got quiet enough to listen to it. This year I slowed down; first because illness forced me to. Second because recovery required more stillness. In that way both sickness and healing are a gift. For those gifts I am so grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you to this life for teaching me. Thank you, thank you, thank you to this year that changed everything. [cont’d]

Sophia Bush Instagram – It’s (been) time to shift to clean energy. Dirty energy is a global conflict driver, and already at-risk communities suffer most. So let’s push our leaders — all over the world! — to adopt a Positive Power Plan. When we all join the call together, we can accelerate change. And the world needs it! Initiatives like this one make me feel hopeful when hope is in short supply. I know a lot of you are feeling the same right now, so check out the link in my bio to learn about the plan, and take action on real solutions with us @wearepositivepower 🫶🏼🌎🫶🏼 #PositivePowerPartner #cop28
Sophia Bush Instagram – It’s been an amazing year for storytelling. I have been blown away by so many films lately. Just last weekend I was fortunate enough to attend a screening for @americanfictionmovie, followed by a long lunch and discussion with the phenomenal @cordjefferson. I love when life offers you the gift of deep talks with wise, creative people. I am such an unabashed fan of his work, his adaptation, and the searingly brilliant, brutally funny, deeply touching film he made. Today his film received 5 Oscar nominations, which I can only imagine was alllllllllmost as cool as when we showed up to this event in our matchy-matchy pinstripes. Same same, me thinks!? Congrats!! 🚀

Sophia Bush Instagram – When it touches you, your family, your life … what will you do? Junction arrives January 26th. @junction_film @bryangreenberg @griffindunne @ashleymadekwe @jamiejchung #Junction #JunctionFilm
Sophia Bush Instagram – #ORIGIN opens today. And I think, having spent two weeks with @originmovie now, that so many people are talking about the importance of this film in the committed way that they are, because this is a film that is dangerous to power.
This work? It will change you. It will show you. It will inspire you. It will open your heart, your mind, and your desire for better. This movie is daaaaaangerous to power. That is my very favorite kind of art.
Thank you @ava and @arraynow for making it. Thank you for letting us love and support it. Thank you @angelinajolie for inviting us into your home to talk about it and commune with each other, and then for hosting a screening to make sure everyone knows about it. @elainewelteroth @versharma and I are up next, with a screening in NYC on the 22nd (info in stories!) We’re all making sure we spend the privilege of our platforms to make sure YOU all have the experience of this work. Join us ♥️

Sophia Bush Instagram – Junction arrives 1/26 … are you ready? (preorder #linkinbio)
@junction_film @bryangreenberg @ashleymadekwe @griffindunne @jamiejchung #Junction #JunctionFilm
Sophia Bush Instagram – @originmovie is the sort of film that will change you for the better. It is a love letter to all of us. Run, don’t walk to see it.
And, friends, while we are at it? This is a film @ava made it because it needed to be made. Because it called to her. Which means she made outside of the studio system. And that means it’s harder for it to reach people. She spoke with me about this on @workinprogress this week and it really hit home…
So may I ask you, my community and my WIP listeners, to each share this? Each of us has the power to be a megaphone for this beautiful work. We can be the viewers and the support team. AND!? That opportunity for support goes beyond just our eyeballs and our platform shares. If you visit Seat16.com you can gift a ticket to ORIGIN and a year of @masterclass to a teenager for just $16. I’m doing this today. Who’s in with me!? Imagine what we can all do, together 🫶🏼
Sophia Bush Instagram – As this week comes to a close I have to thank @ava for joining me on @workinprogress to discuss @originmovie. We spoke to each other on Tuesday and my head and heart are still full and spinning. I continue to catch myself with goosebumps rushing up my arms as I think about the vulnerability she shared, and the sweeping profundity of this piece of art that she made.
ORIGIN manages to take the incredible academic work of @isabelwilkerson and turn it into a narrative about a brilliant women pulling at the thread of what makes us human — and how we humans have been to each other throughout history — and her own, individual yet universal experiences with the deeply human milestones of love, loss, grief, and a search for meaning. Wilkerson’s book, CASTE, sat atop the best seller list for a year because it blew hearts and minds wide open. She showed us that caste is the basis of every -ism we create to “other” people we deem different. And it’s only when the problem is really examined, under sunlight, that we might begin to find a collective way to fix it. A collective liberation.
The book will change you. And somehow Ava distilled its story into a film that will change you too. It will crack your heart open and make you want to know more, do more, and be better in this world. EVERYONE needs to see it. And I know every one of you will be moved to hear our conversation about it. From how she managed to make this film when studios were too intimidated by the scope of it to say yes. She said yes and made it true. In so many layers, this conversation is a powerful reminder to keep going. It is about the deep triumph that comes from going to the root of the root of truth and holding on. It is about perseverance. It is about the work that makes the progress. Enjoy. #WorkInProgress #AvaDuVernay #OriginMovie
