This past Sunday, from 8am to 8pm, New Yorkers from every corner of our city traveled to the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria to share their dreams, their worries, the change they want to see across New York. It was an honor listening to each of them.

After six and a half months, or 198 calendar days, or 137 business days or roughly ~400 applications of job searching, I got hired into a role of my wildest dreams.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.
She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.
So I confronted him.

It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
