Views of Magical Santa Fe, New Mexico

When I told my husband that I would be visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico he spoke about his visit some years ago and how magical he felt it all was. The most I had heard about Santa Fe was how incredible the spas were, and what a great artist community it had, but not[...]

La Posada de Santa Fe, New Mexico

One of the things that I loved the most about my visit to Santa Fe, NM was the sense of history I felt when walking along the streets and in speaking to the people I met during my visit. My friend Sandra and stayed at La Posada, a RockResort, and this only served t[...]

I recently joined in on a Black History Month cele I recently joined in on a Black History Month celebration led by @_nykitchen (Canandaigua) and their very own examples of Black excellence: Sommelier Shomari Smoak (@winewithsmoak ), Chef Eli Tate, and Wine Writer Maiah Johnson Dunn (@thisismaiah). Chef Eli’s crispiest of crisp fried chicken, saucy ribs, mac & cheese, crazy delicious collard greens, and cornbread was paired with five incredible Black-owned or made wines, all hand selected by Maiah and Shomari. For dessert, we had a special treat made by Rochester’s Pound Cakes by Pastor. We also got to learn about Black History in the Finger Lakes, including about Fedderman Wine Co., founded in 1972 by Raymond Fedderman in Prattsburgh, NY, recognized as one of the first Black-owned commercial wineries in the U.S.. and the FIRST in New York State!! He was known for his sweet wines like “Irene Red” and “Rosalind White”. The Finger Lakes is rich in Black History, and luckily New York Kitchen often hosts events beyond just this one month to share the wealth that Black excellence has contributed to the region and beyond. Visit their website for more upcoming events! #blackhistorymonth #flxwinecountry #soulfoodandwine #blackwinetok #fingerlakes

A New York City moment with no trending sound: Pal A New York City moment with no trending sound: Palestinian food dining next to Tim Robbins. Enjoyed an incredible meal at @albadawi.nyc, a Michelin Guide-featured Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn Heights with Tim Robbins and his partner dining in the table next to us. But as a true blue New Yorker, you keep your cool and take in the magic of life in this amazing city. #brooklyn #newyorkcity #citylife #palestinianfood

Proof of life. Out here wearing one of our many ha Proof of life. Out here wearing one of our many hats, capturing the beauty of the Finger Lakes and working alongside my guy. I am being called back into interpreter work to support those working with our immigrant community. What I can tell you about that landscape today is that it is overwhelmed. Pro-bono attorneys have massive waiting lists, forcing those in the immigration system - an already financially draining process - to seek support from expensive private attorneys. The work is emotionally intense but so damn important. If you want to help with donations some non-profit doing good work are: @americancivi, @lawnyinc, and @risse_albany. If you have other reputable, pro-bono resources for those seeking support through their immigration process and tribulations, please share in the comments! Together we can help change someone’s life. ❤️
Snow day and the art of doing nothing even when th Snow day and the art of doing nothing even when the world demands we do so much. It’s ok to breathe. Process in silence. Seek comfort in yourself. Laugh. REST IS RESISTANCE. They want us scared. Broken. Isolated. Hopeless. Joyless. Exhausted. We are not. This moment is not how our story ends. “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde
