As a teenager, Marquita had to face a hurdle that changed her life. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and believed that her life would be a short one. Luckily for us, Marquita beat cancer and looked forward to life as an adult! She married, had children, and bought a house... and then the cancer returned. Again, Marquita feared that her life was never meant to be a long one, and that she would never have the opportunity to accomplish her goals. Her cancer treatments left scars both physical and emotional.
Once again, Marquita beat cancer, and then she knew that she is here for a reason, and that her life has purpose. "I learned from both of those moments that life is not over for me," Marquita says. "My story is not ending." Her motto, Veni, Vidi, Vici, from Julius Caesar, means, "I came, I saw, I conquered." A fitting motto for Marquita!

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.
