What does ‘home’ mean to you? Is it a place? A person? Or perhaps, a feeling? For our storytellers, home is where life unfolds. It’s where you find a piece of yourself, and your culture. For some it is an image of a place, crafted in time, from the memories they hold dear. In this inaugural episode you will hear different stories from a range of community members with one common thread, home is where the heart is.

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
