. Unemployment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, focusing on the three places with the most significant increases in employed persons, the biggest gainer in the year up to last December. Read more of this post

What I love about DC area the most: Without question, the people. I have lived in this amazing city for almost 20 years and am blown away with the general kindness and compassion of our city’s people and am lucky enough to live close by some of my greatest friends. With that, I am also a highly trained eater who loves the local restaurants [I have even designed a few] and using food as a vessel to spend time with my friends and family. Lastly, it is impossible to be bored in DC. There is always a concert, an exhibit or a fun event going on, so get up and get out there people! Read more of this post

The great power of film was discussed a few days ago in the UN Week Digital Media Lounge in a session entitled, “Reel Impact: The Power of Film to Change Lives.” Read more of this post
