Letter From The Editor-In-Chief: Pride Issue
It is important to acknowledge and accept individuals for who they are, including those who identify as drag performers, Queer, and non-binary.
Acceptance of diversity is crucial for creating a world in which everyone feels safe and accepted for who they are, regardless of their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other aspect that makes them unique. It is essential to respect and support individuals of all backgrounds by embracing their differences and celebrating their uniqueness. Everyone deserves the right to express themselves freely, and it is vital to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that nurtures creativity and self-expression.
The Power of Real Stories
In February 2022, GLAAD’s 17th annual “Where We Are on TV” report found that LGBT representation on US TV was at an all-time high. Approximately 11.9% of characters on the 2021-2022 primetime slate were LGBT, an increase of 2.8% from the previous year. The report also noted lesbian characters as the most represented sexual identity on broadcast television. Scripted shows like CW’s “Batwoman” and Showtime's “Yellowjackets” feature strong queer women, and representation has also increased in reality TV programming, as seen on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Miami,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” TLC’s “I am Jazz,” and MTV’s “The Challenge.”
Women Who are Changing Philanthropy
When we think of giving back, philanthropy is often top of mind. For women in the philanthropy sector, the inequities of our general society are reflected in stereotypes and bad assumptions around how we show up in our generosity. Did you know that tens of millions of dollars are left on the table by nonprofits each year, because people make the assumption that women don’t consistently make significant gifts and many in the fundraising profession don’t take the time to truly understand the nuances around how women give?

Letter from the Editor-in-Chief: Wellness issue
Your health + wellness are the most important things in your life. They literally impact how everything else happens and is received by you.We’ve learned in time that wellness is not just about physical activity and good nutrition. It includes positive choices and a sense of fulfillment. It helps to know that having overall wellness includes these seven dimensions: mental, physical, social, financial, spiritual, environmental, and vocational. These dimensions are interdependent and influence each other and when one dimension of our wellbeing is out of balance, the other dimensions are affected.

Tales of a Tiny Room Refresh
After 4 months of displacement after an unexpected flood, I decided to do a bedroom refresh in October 2021. Fun, you say. Sure. But probably not the best timing with the global supply chain issues and the pandemic. Challenge accepted! The interior design inspo – chic hotel rooms. Something along the lines of the coolness at the ACE in NYC, the grandeur of the Four Seasons in Mexico City or the structural design of the Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills in Tokyo. Through all this pandemic time, I have missed the lushness of the comfy beds, the airiness of space and the detailed décor. Could I find furniture and décor that would service this vision without waiting half a year to finally see it put together? I was about to find out.
Hearts on Fire
Valentine’s Day often brings us the colorways of pastels or splashes of red and pink. Yet, year-round, the shape and the print of hearts is timeless. It’s one of the reasons I have a heart illustration on my book cover, The Love List. While being a bit whimsical, the heart can be very punk rocker, cool (Think Saint Laurent and Area). Here is a collection of heart shaped/printed products that you’ll be sure to love and wear all year long.
