It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

Women of Culture is a social enterprise that creates art-based experiences, trips and private group events designed to connect, inspire and empower women while also showcasing the power and necessity of the arts. I started her career in Marketing and transitioned to Graphic Design before noticing a lack of connection to the arts and other women in her own life.

I am a retired cosmetic chemist.

My experiences are created around sustainable initiatives. They're meant to disrupt the norm and focus on ways that we can individually come together and make a difference. The message is important but due to technology minds have become overstimulated so it's hard to always keep everyone's focus. We strive to highlight do-gooders and teach alternate habits for living a sustainable living.
Today in my hypnotherapy practice I use a unique approach to help my clients enjoy a life filled with great clarity, content, self-confidence, joy, excitement and healthy determination. It makes me smile knowing that each day I’m helping someone else live a more authentic life – becoming more of themselves every day– as they grow through self-development and gain self-esteem.
