My husband Sebastian and I joined our close friends Marissa, her daughter Natalie (who is like a niece to me), Brooke, Marian, and Sharma for a private screening of Elio at the Dania Pointe Regal Theater, and the evening was nothing short of magical and fun. From the moment we arrived, excitement bubbled in the air.

A Love Letter to Reading: A Call for Compassion in the Book Community | OpinionBooks have been my lifeline for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a small high school in Puerto Rico, I often felt set apart and labeled as "different" for the things I loved. I was the girl who reached for a book the moment she finished a test, who found joy in quiet pages rather than loud cliques. Back then, I didn't know I had ADHD. I just knew that reading calmed me when the world felt overwhelming.

Since March, I’d been counting down the days. When a wonderful publicist pitched The Cove Eleuthera to me, and I knew it was the kind of place my husband Sebastian and I adore: secluded, luxurious, and full of natural island charm. When June finally arrived, so did our chance to escape to this Bahamian paradise. From the moment we were picked up and driven to the resort’s breezy entrance, greeted with a chilled rum punch, I could feel my world slowing down.

Why 'Thunderbolts' Hit Home: A Superhero Story That Embraced the Chaos of Mental Health | OpinionI've always turned to stories, books, comics, films to understand myself and the world around me. But rarely has a Marvel movie made me feel as seen as "Thunderbolts" did. I watched it twice, each time struck not just by its action and spectacle, but by the raw, emotional core beating beneath it: a group of deeply flawed individuals trying their best to hold it together. Just like me.
