Thank you to Newsday Media Group and Rachel Weiss for letting me share my thoughts on why single women are buying more houses on their own – and the struggle of it all! https://lnkd.in/eAuinadv

As Women's History Month begins to come to a close, we take a moment to appreciate the female community leaders on our Board whose passion for United Way of Long Island’s work is instrumental in driving results. Thank you for making a difference. #UnitedWayLI #LiveUnited

It’s a special request to a loved one — an honor, even — leading up to one of the most monumental days you can have in life: “Will you be my bridesmaid?” But it’s become a loaded question. Between the expenses of the big day and the wedding-related festivities along the way, the costs of being in a bridal party add up quickly — especially with the added pressure of social media trends, some local experts say.

Kudos are in order for the Towns team at Newsday Media Group and my editor, Scott Eidler, for the teamwork to get together this P1 story on Sunday. Many hours were spent poring over data, interviewing officials and making sense of a complex, but important, issue that is affecting Long Island taxpayers. https://lnkd.in/ec5zt4YF

For years, fans of John's Crazy Socks have been showing up unannounced at the company’s Farmingdale headquarters to buy merchandise on the spot, one of the co-founders said. But the staff always has always directed visitors to the retailer’s website to make purchases, because the e-commerce company didn’t have a physical storefront, except for a pop-up shop held for one day in December each year. That changes today, when John’s Crazy Socks will open its first permanent physical store, inside its warehouse brimming with brightly colored socks with diverse designs.

My story in today’s Newsday is about bird culture on Long Island. The vibrant avian life here inspired the likes of Walt Whitman and Teddy Roosevelt, and in the post pandemic era has attracted a whole new flock of birders and bird photographers

I’m excited to announce that I was recognized with first place honors by the New York Press Photographers Association’s 90th Annual Photography & Multimedia Contest, 2024 Year in Pictures and Multimedia Contest, in the category, Multimedia – Long Form (Over 5 minutes). In our story, “Faces Of A Crisis,” Newsday spent a year following individuals to better understand who they are and illustrate an overwhelmed immigration system that would become central to the presidential election. I share this prestigious NYPPA honor with my overwhelmingly talented Newsday colleagues Alejandra Villaroca and John C. Williams. It’s an honor to work for a news outlet like Newsday, that shows its’ commitment towards human interest and immigration stories. It’s also an absolute privilege to be trusted with these compelling stories and the lives of the people who we encounter daily. Thank you. https://lnkd.in/e_gNd-ip
