She was the epitome of sophistication, brilliance, and commitment. To me, she represented everything a woman ought to be. I was eight when I went to visit my grandmother in New York City for the first time. I saw then that this city changed her life and I knew it was beginning to change mine. My cautious mother…

seen as an elite club whose membership is bought by the cities' median income. A cycle of investment and disinvestment is what generates cities today. The lower class is constantly being displaced by economic actors to serve the middle class. Some will leave this cycle having benefitted from it, able to buy the ideal single family home.

When I first visited New York, I was going to see “Cabaret” on broadway. I had recently become obsessed with the broadway actor, Alan Cumming, and I couldn 't miss the opportunity to see him live. I ended up falling deeply in love with the city, and I knew it would be my future home. My father and I navigated the city trying to find all the major sites.

the female ones with the four-letter word that begins with a “c,” as an informer, and as co-founding choreographer, with George Balanchine, of the New York City Ballet.
