Refocused, Together 2023 continues with a conversation with Minnesota State Representative Kim Hicks.
Kim is currently serving her first term representing Minnesota's District 25A. Beyond her political role, she's active on TikTok, candidly sharing her experiences as both a legislator and someone with ADHD. Kim's journey with ADHD began in fourth grade when she was initially tested for dyslexia. Despite facing challenges, she discovered the benefits of structured programs while she was working at a local group home.
Kim doesn't consider herself to be a typical politician, but she's working on making space for herself, driven by a desire for a more diverse and inclusive legislature that truly represents the people of Minnesota. In her current role, Kim leverages her ADHD strengths and relies on a strong support system to navigate the demanding responsibilities of her job, fueled by a deep commitment to creating inclusive communities for individuals with disabilities.

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.
