In today's episode, I discuss my mixed feelings about my beautiful city feeling a bit less united lately. From the changes I've seen since living here two summers 2015 & 2016 and moving here full time shortly after to through COVID to now, it is a little disappointing to see this place become divisive and isolated into social bubbles. New York was a place for misfits, creatives, disruptors, ambitious dreamers, and those who didn't belong anywhere who wanted to find themselves. It still is, but it seems like what is basic and popular is overwriting the local color and true meaning of what it means to be a New Yorker. From gentrification to social media to demographic shift to toxic mindsets tied with leaving NYC, I discuss a bit of everything. This city is the heart of so many industries and movements and is rich with so much history that I just want everyone who comes here to respect the communities, different cultures and people, and those who came before them.
