She was born here, shaped by the rhythm of the streets, the galleries, the fire escapes, and the quiet morning light on brownstone walls. 

She’s tried to leave. But the city always calls her back. 

“The best thing about New York is that there’s always something happening. 

You can never be bored here. 

If I had to describe New York in three words: 

energy, intensity, and solid. 

It’s been here, it’s staying here. It is what it is. And I love it.

For those coming to New York, my advice is simple: keep your eyes in the back of your head and stay open. You never know what you might learn”.
