Vacationing Around the Corner

Winter vacations are here, and in many places, either borders are closed, or PCR testing and quarantining are required upon return. This is quite an unappealing cocktail at a time when we all need a breath of fresh air, a new perspective, and a renewed energy. But where can we travel to? Forget the sun of Mexico, the charm of Morocco, and the heat of the Persian Gulf. 

What if we were simply traveling next door, within our own city. Treating ourselves to a romantic weekend around the corner in an unusual setting and being lulled to sleep. In other words, becoming a tourist in our own city.

The Shadow Pandemic: Domestic Violence and COVID-19

April 17, 2020May 19, 2020 by JC Agid Leave a comment

The Shadow Pandemic:
Domestic Violence and COVID-19

In the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic, a more private war is worsening in some homes. While most of the world is asked to stay confined to save lives, others are hurt and victims of abusive, sometimes dangerous partners. Where women are isolated at homes, reports show an increase of more than 30% of domestic violence against them. 

The Chairman and CEO of Kering, François-Henri Pinault, had already rung the alarm bell in New York last December at the annual Voices of Solidarity gala where he was being honored for the visionary work of his foundation to combat this invisible plight: “Gender-based violence is so universal, so extreme and so devastating that we must call it what it really is: an emergency.”

In these unprecedented times of isolation, the Kering Foundation has not only made emergency donations to its partner NGOs but has also launched a social media campaign in the United States, France, the UK and Italy to help survivors seek aid and make accessible support more visible: #YouAreNotAlone.

Alone Together

Alone Together

I heart New York all together, just in a different way for the time being.

I have loved New York since the day I first visited the city in the early 1990s. I was in my twenties and as soon as I landed, I met a family that would eventually become my American pillar. I spoke very little English then and did not know I would come back to attend a graduate program in journalism. As did so many before me, I immediately felt enamored with the vibrant, fast-pacing, colorful city and have called it my home since the Fall of 2000.

When 9/11 struck Manhattan a year later, the whole place suddenly came to a halt. Flabbergasted New Yorkers left their offices and their apartments all the same. None panicked. Some started to grieve the loss of a parent, a colleague or a friend; most stared bewildered at what the terrorists had done to their town, a reminder of the attack against Pearl Harbor in the wee hours of December 7, 1941, the only other time when the United States faced war on their own soil.
