Some conversations stop you in your tracks- and this was one of them.
Xaviaer DuRousseau joined me to talk about how he went from identifying as a proud liberal to becoming one of the boldest conservative voices challenging the mainstream narrative today. He walked me through that transformation. What shifted, what hurt, and what ultimately freed him.
We talked about identity, race, and the pressure to conform. Xaviaer opened up about the backlash he's faced, the isolation that comes with speaking your truth, and why he refuses to be quiet- even when it would be easier.
This wasn't about towing a party line. It was about finding the courage to break away from the script and rewriting your own.

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.
