In this episode, we met with Juan-Lorenzo Cruz, a Chief Engineer and Go-Go Dancer based in San Francisco. Juan-Lorenzo opens up about his life’s journey, discussing the rewards and challenges, and how he balances his professional responsibilities with vibrant personal passions. Tune in to hear his unique experiences and insights on body positivity, colorism, and queerness.
Juan-Lorenzo Cruz is the Chief Engineer at Hotel Caza, situated in Fisherman’s Wharf San Francisco. While originally attending Humboldt State University (now Cal Poly Humboldt) he studied psychology and art. His move further south to Sonoma County is where he found his first substantial long term homosexual relationship, as well as the opportunity in which his current career is built. While his primary job takes up most of his time, he go-go dances weekends at various SF gay clubs, including The Eagle and Powerhouse. He enjoys snowboarding, dancing and finding new music, as well as spending time with friends catching up on films and eating good food.

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.
