Today I had the wonderful opportunity to discuss creating safe spaces & building community with the team at Soho House & Co. It’s a subject I’m passionate about - and something I feel I’m strong in, so I loved chatting about myriad of obstacles and opportunities today’s work and socio-political/economic culture presents. The work is never done! Beautiful flowers on a gorgeous spring day don’t hurt, either! Thank you so much for the opportunity, Jon-Paul and everyone WE CREATE SPACE! I so enjoy partnering with you!
