I travel in this shirt everywhere I go. I want everyone to know how much I love my city, the people, the pulse, the power, the purpose. I moved to on July 12, 2001 with my bestie Stephanie Steele just 3 months before September 11th. It was a day filled with contrasts. Beauty and horror. Love and hate. Lightness and darkness. Calm and chaos. Though it was terrifying, it was also life-affirming. The city unified into one community who helped each other. Celebrated each other. Thanked each other. Talked to each other. Hugged each other. Loved each other. It was an extraordinary moment in time with the best of humanity showing up to repair the unimaginable damage created by the worst in humanity. I feel immense gratitude to and for every neighbor, business owner, bodega and restaurant worker, and especially the first responders and all the helpers who gave so much, including in many cases their own lives, to save and serve others. I salute their heroism, their spirit, their generosity, their selflessness, their kindness, and their courage. May we never forget not just the bad on that day, but also the good. That’s what I hope we can access and expand again. Shana Tova… May this be a sweet, safe, healthy, happy, connected, loving New Year #911 I ❤️ NY
