About Iliana Belinc:
Her passion derives from her grandfather who rescued street dogs in Mexico since the 1940s. As Iliana was growing up, he would tell stories of being an orphan as a kid and sleeping many nights with the street dogs.
It was no surprise in 2016, Iliana’s motivation for PalsNPets was inspired by witnessing a familial interaction between an unhoused pet owner and a local bypasser.
This positive interaction lead Iliana to do her own personal research with unhoused pet owners on the street and in human shelters. Iliana quickly learned this unconditional bond between an unhoused person and their pet is not only beautiful but can also be transformative in their life if human shelters had the proper support in allowing pets. This is when PalsNPets was born.

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.
