Growing up in Zimbabwe, Laurence Blair's family faced numerous challenges, leading them to have no choice but flee.
He married his wife, an American, whom he met in Kenya. They tragically lost their first child at 34 weeks pregnant due to his wife's sudden liver rupture. Nearly losing his wife too.
At the birth of their twins, after 33 minutes without oxygen, their son suffered severe complications.
This is a story of a man prepared to do anything for his and his family's wellbeing. I highly enjoyed this.

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.
