💡 AI & Cyber Safety: Staying Grounded in a Digital World

In 2019, I experienced a cybercrime that shook me to my core. It wasn’t just financial — it challenged my confidence, my trust, and my sense of safety online.


Today, with AI creating content faster and more convincingly than ever, the digital world can feel overwhelming. Deepfakes, manipulated media, and sophisticated phishing are on the rise — and it’s easy to feel alone in navigating it all.


But here’s what I’ve learned: we are not alone, and there are steps we can take to protect ourselves.

1️⃣ Pause & Reflect

 Before clicking, reacting, or sharing — stop. Take a moment to assess. Impulse is the hacker’s ally.

2️⃣ Ask: “Is This Real?”

 AI can create content that looks real. Verify sources, cross-check information, and trust your instincts.

3️⃣ Lean on Your Community

 Talk with friends, colleagues, and family about what you see online. Sharing knowledge strengthens everyone’s defenses.

4️⃣ Educate & Act

 Knowledge is power. Learn the tools, understand the risks, and put simple, actionable steps in place to reduce future risk.

Cybercrime can feel isolating — but by pausing, reflecting, and connecting, we regain control. And together, we build a safer, more resilient digital world.

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.
