(00:26):
swipe of an app, authenticityhas become a rare gold.

go dim, only one thing willstill be standing tall
integrity.

(00:46):
Integrity is the real signatureyou leave behind.
It's the autograph written notin ink but in action.
It's not forged by hands, butformed by heart.

are.

Integrity doesn't need applause,and it doesn't chase validation.

Don't just live to impress theworld.
Live to express your truth.
Because integrity will alwaysfind a way to rise.
It's like the sun breakingthrough the clouds.
No matter how much shadow triesto cover it, light always wins.

(01:53):
So today decide that your legacywon't be a performance, it will
be a promise.
Autograph your life withintegrity and let the world
remember your signature not forhow loud it was, but for how
real it felt.
Here's a story.
The signature that shined.
There was once a young artistnamed Maya who dreamed of being

(02:15):
famous.
She watched others online riseovernight with filters, trends,
and fancy edits.
So she started doing the same,copying styles, chasing likes,
and trying to become what shethought people wanted to see.
One day her grandfather, a quietman who built furniture by hand,
visited her studio.

(02:36):
He looked around at her flashywork and said, It's beautiful,
but I can't see you in any ofit.
That night those words echoed inher mind.
So the next morning Maya pickedup her brush and painted
something different, a pictureof her small hometown, her late
grandmother's garden, and thesunlight that used to pour

(02:56):
through their window.
It wasn't perfect, but it wasreal.
Days later someone saw thatpainting and shared it, calling
it a piece that fills alive.
Soon people were not followingher for her filters, they were
following her for her truth.
Years later, Maya's paintingfilled galleries, and at the

(03:17):
corner of every canvas she wroteher name with a small heart and
a symbol of integrity.
She often told young artists,don't chase fame, sign your life
with honesty, because wheneverything fake fades, the real
you will still shine.
Your life is a canvas.
Paint it with truth, sign itwith integrity, and let that be

(03:41):
your masterpiece.
Make it happen.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
