Seriously such an honor to be asked to speak at the @adl_national Never Is Now summit with @lalshareef @alizalichtxo and @zach.sage !

There are so many ways each of us can use our voice, not always as an influencer or content creator, but also by commenting and supporting our videos, by speaking with friends face to face, by creating support groups and communities to support each other 🙏🏻

What is helping you get through the day??

Every day lately feels so heavy and I’ve personally been using makeup, skincare, and cookies as a distraction. Maybe it’s not the “best” way to cope but it’s working for now and I’ll take any moments like this that make me smile.

Ever since October 7th, I’ve found myself wanting to find things in my life I can control and I’ve really prioritized my self care. For me, that means spending extra time in the morning taking care of my skin and finally learning how to do my makeup in my 40s. I wake up every morning and say the Jewish prayer of Mode Ani, thanking Gd for another day that my eyes open and I can live! I won’t take that for granted.

A 4 year old and a 9 month old taken hostage on October 7th. Their captors recorded the entire thing, their mother terrified holding her two babies in her arms, and shared it with the world. There is no “but what about” that will work here. You use that comment and you are showing the world that you don’t actually care about children at all. Because while we don’t celebrate the children’s lives that have been lost in Gaza, YOU somehow think it’s okay to celebrate the lives lost in Israel, even those of babies. Today, I am sad and I am angry. May the memories of all those lost on and since October 7th be a blessing 🎗️

They want us broken but we are not a people who break! Remember that!!!

Thank you to everyone for your prayers, whatever language you pray in, and thank you @kayajones for praying at the home of the Bibas family with me.

If you need a distraction, here’s a good one!!! To be clear, the only thing that came in PR is the vitamin C and the rest I paid for. Whether it’s a collab, PR, or I paid for it myself, I will ALWAYS be honest with you guys!

I can’t even imagine for these people on the kibbutzim terrified for their lives on October 7th running to their safe rooms only to find out that the doors didn’t lock. Many thought they did lock which is why it was easy for Hms and the civilians (because we really can’t distinguish between the two) who came in with them to get in and m*rder or take them hostage
