I saw a post floating around Facebook that stopped me mid-scroll (which, in 2026, is the emotional equivalent of a spiritual awakening):“You can be the prettiest rose ever, but if they like lilies, it won’t matter.” Rude. Accurate. Personally offensive. Because somewhere between being raised to believe we […]
Sometimes I wish you could see my pain. Not in a dramatic Victorian-novel way. I am not fainting on a chaise lounge with a lace handkerchief. No violins are playing. Just see it. But you can’t. Because apparently I am a Barbie doll. Not the original one from […]
You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like? Lately, I’ve been watching architectural shows the way some people watch cooking competitions. Wide-eyed. Slightly dramatic. Fully aware that I do not, in fact, have Michelin-star money or, in my case, Oshatz or Aires […]
Every once in a while, I find myself in conversation with someone, whether a colleague, an old friend, a friend of a friend, and they say something like: “Oh yeah, I read that in your blog.” Cue record scratch.Wait… You read my blog? It never fails to amuse […]
Which slice of me will you get today? Will you catch the breeze or the blaze?Will I simmer or will I scorch?Will I laugh mid-sentence or pause long enough to make you squirm?I don’t always know myself which version will slip out first. Maybe today, I’m a little […]

I’ve been asked this question often: Who are you? It’s one of those questions that seems simple, but the moment you try to answer, you find yourself lost in a maze of stories, roles, and contradictions. Who am I? I’m the girl who grew up in the Bronx, […]
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. In the grand tapestry of perceptions, I secretly hope people say, “She’s fair, but not in a boring way, more like a ‘fair with flair’ way.” Being fair is a delicate dance, like trying to salsa on a […]
What book are you reading right now? Here we go. After a scandalously long hiatus from the written word, I’ve finally graced my bookshelf with two new books– a delightful duality of pop culture and intellectual musings, ready to be devoured over the Thanksgiving dinner table. Well, actually, […]
I’m the type of person who finds many things obvious and has high expectations of others that they too will see the obvious. Apparently, I don’t tolerate fools very well. So be it. What really gets to me is when I am forced to ask about whats going […]
