What do we do?
1. Take an unflinching look. Make sure you’re seeing the world as it is, not how we wish is was.
2. Recognize that there is lots of both bad and good going on in the world.
3. When you’re struggling, focus more on the good so you can stay hopeful.
4. When you’re shining, focus enough on the bad stuff so you can identify opportunities to be part of the solution (or at least a smaller part of the problem).
5. Hang out with others who lift you up, and with those who can help you lift others up, too.

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.
