Meeting my great goddaughter and melting at the grasp of those little fingers.
With the text of Feel the Floor now in the hands of the copy editor, I took advantage of the lull to celebrate. Off to visit old friends in the South of France (my hostess and I had been assistants at Vogue several moons ago), where the lingering light and the olive trees and the bonhomie of an international house party restored the soul. .

Sumter County, in the heart of the Black Belt of Alabama, fertile heart of cotton country. Recreating jazz choreographer Buddy Bradley meant uncovering the history of his father and grandfather. It is understanding the past, our ancestors, that makes the present coherent (Thank you, James Baldwin!).

My new yoga destination. It’s already calming me down!
I simply don’t understand why my family thinks I am bossy.

Photo capture. Spring in Milan. My sister, La Scala, magical corners.
Overlooking the fountain at Castle Howard. A random pop up on my phone for throwback Thursday?
Why does jazz choreographer Buddy Bradley still matter ? How is it that he still touches our lives today?
We will examine these ideas and all things Buddy Bradley together at the Columbia University Studies in Dance Seminar, Monday, February 24 at 6 pm. where I will present my research for the upcoming biography: Feel the Floor: Restoring the Life and Legacy of Jazz Choreographer Buddy Bradley.

Fresh beginnings for a new year of intentionality, kindness, and ever learning.
Goodbye 2024. A year of learning, friendship, and love, centered on the story of Buddy Bradley.
Paris at its tranquil best. Mass on Boxing Day.
