Endlessly proud & honored to be a part of the Sugarloaf Fine Arts Camp staff. What wonderful humans. They tell me it’s year 40 for me. So much #gratitude for this place where sharing the joy of making ART with amazing campers & young artists is our goal. Love you ALL. 🌟🎭🌟

Happy Birthday to my amazing daughter! 🎉 This past year has brought more challenges than anyone should face, but you’ve handled every single one with courage, humor, and resilience. Even on the hardest days, your kindness and light never fade. I’m so proud of the amazing young woman you have become.
I love you more than words can ever say. 💕✨

🔥🪰 Only five months late this time! So wonderful to be part of an unapologetically queer musical with so many incredibly talented people; thank you @catchingfirefliesmusical and @theplayerstheatrenyc for reminding me to cheat on my solitude and also for letting me get away with so much ad-libbing. Love or art! (It’s both 🎨🖌️)

Lil late on the Q1 review, sorry to our stakeholders. Our ROI was looking pretty nifty, but we’re forecasting 44% more slay in Q2. Stay tuned.

Thank you to my friends & family whom all made my 30th birthday so special! I truly had an amazing weekend and a great time getting to see you all!

I know everyone in their twenties are scared to hit thirty, but I’m truly excited! I can’t wait to see what the next decade in life brings me. Aging is exciting, more doors open as we progress through life. This next chapter of my lift I’m coining the phrase, “Thirty, flirty, & thriving!”
