19 yrs ago today, I was given a mask to wear, long before it became the status quo. A member of #FDNY #nycbravest saw me struggling and put a mask on my face with the instructions, given in a thick Brooklyn accent, “keep it on, alright” He then handed me a wet towel to hold above the face of the crying infant I was carrying in my arms. He covered us and held tightly to my elbow saying “I got you” whilst we ran through a downpour of noxious, chalky, debris. Debris so dense that it completely blocked out the bright, morning, September sun and rendered anything inches in front of one’s face invisible. He guided me to a stationary bus, where others covered in white dust were waiting, only to quickly turn around and run back towards the wreckage. (I eventually made it to the Battery, covered head to toe in the white dust, where complete strangers lifted me over the seawall, onto a volunteer tugboat that brought me across the water to safety in the parking lot of the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey. To this day, I have no idea if that courageous man’s story ended in the same manner as mine. To all of the heroes like that firefighter, whose face I never saw and whose name I never knew, who ran towards the destruction at #groundzero that day, and to all of the #firstresponders #family, and other #americans who continued to work/volunteer tirelessly on the #9/11pile for months after the attack. Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️ To all of the #firefighters currently battling the flames on the west coast and all the first responders still on the front lines of everything going on in our country today. You are appreciated and recognized for your courage and the incredible risks you take daily in the service of others. ❤️❤️#neverforget #9/11 #firstresponders #brooklynstrong #nyc #begooddogood #americawearestrongtogether #unitedwestand
Stepped into a photogrammetric rig in The beginning of 2017 and started talking about/trying to sell avatars into fashion. Many people dismissed the idea and thought I was crazy. Now it’s the end of 2021 and ALL the cool kids are doing it! Here’s to following/sticking with your “crazy” ideas❤️🚀 @bods_inc

#challengeaccepted thanks @vonny_dee My hope is that we actually empower other women with our actions, rather than pay lip service on social, whilst we tear one another other down in private, in business deals, etc. We are not threats to one another, but incredible resources ❤️ Let’s all be BOLD together. #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment
Another reel around the sun 🍀 and it’s only getting better! #lockdownbirthday
Happy Father’s Day to the best dad and role model. A man who never had to read us a book about treating others as ourselves or how to live a life full of love/giving beyond our family walls, because it’s all that we saw in his daily actions, choices and words. #specialed “Careful the things you say children will listen, careful the things you do children will see. And learn” -Stephen Sondheim. What we saw was powerful. Love you dad ❤️ #girldad #teacher #specialneedseducation #specialeducationteacher #dadwhotookustotheatre
It’s here!!! Excited to finally introduce @bods_inc and our groundbreaking fashion technology to the world with our beta partner @khaite_ny. • Repost • @bof “Looks great but will it fit me?” It’s a question regularly faced by millions of people shopping for fashion online. This week may bring good news, at least for admirers of New York label khaite’s tailored and feminine looks. Starting Thursday, visitors to Khaite’s website will be able to create a 3D digital, photorealistic version of their bodies by uploading a few selfies and sharing some key measurements. The resulting figure can be adjusted in size (and skin tone) before shoppers dress their digital counterparts in the label’s wares, giving them a new tool, beyond the standard size and measurement information that most sites display, to better evaluate whether a product that catches their eye online will actually fit right. Avatars are not new to the fashion sector. Major luxury brands have already created virtual collections for games like Animal Crossing and League of Legends, or to dress CGI models. So how can the same technology that powers these games be deployed to solve a perennial business problem in fashion e-commerce?

So excited to parter with @khaite_ny to change the future of e-comm!
