This week, Salisha shares the ultimate New York story that perfectly captures her love hate relationship with the city.
From a rat falling from the ceiling during a double date in Harlem to unexpected celebrity encounters in elevators and on sidewalks, Salisha reflects on the chaos, magic, and possibility that define life in New York City.
In this solo episode, Salisha talks about
• The restaurant moment that traumatized her
• Why New York looks scarier on TV than it feels in real life
• Running into legends like James Earl Jones, Cicely Tyson, Carol King, and Hugh Jackman
• The surprising kindness of New Yorkers
• Why this city allows you to reinvent yourself
• Finding gratitude even in uncomfortable seasons
This episode is about more than a wild restaurant story. It is about place, identity, and becoming who you are meant to be.
New York can kick you across the face. And somehow, it can still be the place where your dreams unfold.
