A story I knew would be a tough one to get out from beginning to end. Since it was so personal, I figured I'd write it best with a clear head and an open heart. And I did so months ago while gazing at the sea with the sound of waves crashing in the background. No distractions, no influences and cut off from the people I knew. I just wanted to listen to what I had been trying to say.
A story about how my parents' dysfunctional relationship and their subsequent divorce affected my thoughts on marriage and my first relationship. Yes, I cried through it. Yes, I questioned whether I was comfortable setting my story free. But I also hoped it would touch someone who had gone through the same.
Well, it's finally out.
P.S. The beautiful model gracing our March cover is Sessilee Lopez. You might recognize her from one of the covers of last summer's Vogue Italia Black Issue. Be sure to check out her fashion spread for the mag...especially since it's NYC Fashion Week and all.
