Q: Quotes: Taking a cue from one of my fave authors...

This one entry is dedicated to all the hard-working, new-age females as we pursue new heights in our liberties this country has bestowed upon us. Cheers to us and to those willing to take the path less chosen while quite possibly wearing your new Jimmy Choos while you're at it!


"We don't have centuries of educated, autonomous female role models to imitate here, so nobody has given us a map. As a result, we each race forth blindly into this new maze of limitless options."

She continues, "Can we lighten up a little? Let's anticipate that we will disappoint ourselves somehow in the decade to come. Just march on. Map your own life."

- Elizabeth Gilbert as told in Oprah magazine.

Private screening for the 2009 HBO New York International Latino Film Festival Best Film, Inside A Change, took place at the Indie Movie Theater. Afterwards the cast went to Stay Lounge, in which I got to meet and greet the star crew.

The night ended with giveaways that included the film soundtrack featuring artists such as Slaughterhouse and Mend, another film Cordero directed and produced.
