26 FASTCOMPANY.COM PORTRAIT ILLUSTRATIONS BY ANDRE GOTTSCHALK MARCH/APRIL 2020
Waking Up
FROZEN’S “LET IT
GO” OR “WHAT’S UP
DANGER,” BLACK-
WAY, BLACK CAVIAR
My son loves both:
We play them in the
morning while we
brush our teeth, get
dressed, and dance.
Driving
“HYPNOTIZE,” THE
NOTORIOUS B.I.G.
My driver’s license
lapsed over 10 years
ago, but when I
drove, I loved listen-
ing to ’90s hip-hop.
Working Out
“M ORNI BANKE,”
GURU RANDHAWA
Bollywood music
gets me hyped, so it’s
my go-to for working
out, especially when
I am doing sprints.
Hard at Work
“FORM ATION,”
BEYONCÉ
No one works harder
than Queen B.
Psyching Up
“DANCING ON MY
OWN,” ROBYN
My theme song. It
makes me feel
amazingly brave.
Mellowing Out
“ALL OF ME ,”
JOHN LEGEND
This song instantly
puts me at ease no
matter what else is
going on in my day.
THE DAILY SOUNDTRACK
Music for
Every Moment

Girls Who Code

“The CBD-infused drink is great for mellowing out after a fast-paced day. It some-
how leaves you both calm and energized.” —Andrew Myers, CEO, RippleMatch

gency room
