Quotes:

(00:01:24) "We live in a world that's, like, it's become more politically correct than a nun's prayer circle." - Profit

(00:03:16) "Without discomfort, you need it. You cannot grow. You cannot learn." - Profit

(00:09:14) "White privilege exists, but maybe even more powerful than white privilege, black privilege." - Profit

(00:12:04) "I think it's just racism has gotten to the point to where it's fucking retarded, man. It used to be funny." - Profit


Detailed Outline:

00:04:59 - Uncertainty

Dealing with uncertainty can be daunting, but it also presents an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. Stepping outside of our comfort zones and embracing discomfort is a normal part of life. Through these experiences, we learn and grow. Trying new things, facing fears, and taking risks push us to expand our boundaries and become someone of substance. While uncertainty may bring worry and anxiety, it is important to distinguish it from fear, which involves present danger. Embracing discomfort allows us to challenge ourselves, try new things, and ultimately become the best versions of ourselves.


00:07:45 - Racism

Racism is a complex and controversial topic that encompasses various perspectives and experiences. One interesting perspective is the acknowledgement that black people can also be racist, specifically referring to American black folks. This challenges the common notion that racism is solely perpetuated by white individuals. Despite the controversy, it adds depth to the discussion by acknowledging the complexity of racism and its presence within different racial groups. In summary, the topic of racism involves exploring the idea that racism is not exclusive to any particular race, but rather a behavior that can be exhibited by individuals from various backgrounds.

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.
