Item
“It’s the most practical item in my closet! I love dressing it up with something unexpected like this rose accessory.”

Song
“Ryuichi sakamoto 'rain'. This song is an audio body scan. It conjures a full spectrum of feeling and memory.”
Motto
“WHY NOT (rhetorical) — something I’ve been meditating on lately has been to be less precious in decision making. Some of the most magical moments come when you allow yourself to simply do the thing! It gets you out of your head and into the world.”
Artist
“Barbara Chase Riboud. Her best artwork to me is the way she’s lived her life. It is a dream of mine to own a work of hers.”
Indulgence
“Dogs on the dance floor. Somehow this has happened a couple times and I hope they’re enjoying it as much as I am.”
Dish
“Injera, the cuisine of my native Eritrea. I strongly dislike the monotony of a main dish dinner and I LOVE the perfect bite.”
