Featured in Mandarin Oriental’s “NYC, You Inspire Me” portrait series

“NYC, You Inspire Me” is a series of portraits that feature notable New Yorkers in the city locations that inspire them most. It was created by Mandarin Oriental New York for their guests, and for sharing through their digital media. I was honored to be selected as part of this group. I chose Solar 1 as my inspirational place. It’s the long-time venue for the Loving Day Flagship Celebration that I organize every year (with help from about 100 volunteers).

Learn more about my work as a community organizer with Loving Day.
