If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you gold medal in?

Being a host. I am an incredible host and I make a mean cheese board. I learned from the best, my parents.

‍

What topic could you spend hours talking about?

The feminist agenda. I went to an all girl’s high school and it was so important in forming the woman I am today. There is something so powerful about the bond of sisterhood women have and I could talk about human rights and how women are changing the world all day long. In a world that likes to pit us against one another, I love seeing women lift each other up. We’re turning the tables and quite frankly, the world will be better for it.

‍

What is special about the place you grew up?

I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. My favorite spot is Findlay market. My mom and I always make a trip downtown to shop anytime I’m home.

‍

If you could have a never-ending candle that smelled like anything you wanted, what fragrance would you want it to be?

Bergamot and sage. I love an earthy clean scent.

‍

What artist or band do you always recommend when someone asks for a music recommendation?

Esperanza Spalding. She is an absolutely brilliant jazz queen. Also Lianne La Havas, a stunning vocalist and musician.

‍

What’s the most recent show you’ve binge watched?

Euphoria. 10/10 would recommend. It’s the show of our generation. Also Zendaya means everything to me and I would do anything for her.
