Digital Director of O, The Oprah Magazine, Arianna Davis, will talk about her book , What Would Frida do?, a guide to life, love, and happiness inspired by the extraordinary artist Frida Kahlo.

Revered as much for her fierce spirit as she is for her art, Frida Kahlo was a woman ahead of her time whose paintings have earned her generations of admirers. But perhaps her greatest work of art was her own life.

Arianna Davis conjures Frida's brave spirit encouraging women to persevere, create fearlessly, and stand by their own truths.
