It’s no secret that I love Venice Beach. Like hundreds of thousands of tourists, we come to Venice to experience the vibrant boardwalk. It’s full of vendors that create art, musicians serenading you with reggae sounds and some unusual suspects that make the boardwalk a unique place.

But 5 years ago I fell in love with Venice because it reminded me that the world is so diverse and living first was the only way to happiness. It’s here where I risked it all and started House of Darlings.

It took a few different versions to figure out what it was really going to be and it’s still changing but who knows change better than me.

Thank you Venice Beach for letting me be myself.
