Welcome to Part 2! We had a great time chatting with Toé Karasawa, a former Montessori-certified teacher, Montessori marketing specialist, and children’s book author. With her vast array of knowledge, we discussed not only our own experiences with dual languages, but also the benefits and some of the misconceptions of being in a dual-language environment.
Originally from Tokyo, Toé spent her formative years in China, Singapore, and Japan, and now calls the United States home. She speaks Japanese, Mandarin, Shanghainese, and English, bringing a rich, multicultural perspective to all that she does. Toé holds a master’s degree from Teachers College, Columbia University, and a bachelor’s degree from Waseda University. With a deep passion for early childhood education and youth development, she draws on her diverse experiences to help create inclusive and inspiring learning environments for children around the world.

Are You A Charlotte?
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.
