You are invited to an Online Salon!
We will be holding an online conversational salon on Monday, May 18, 2020 at 7PM. If you've never been to a salon before, it will be similar to this.
If you have been to a salon before — or if you used to attend mine —and would like to join us, welcome!
We will be talking about solitude and leadership, using this essay as a starting point. For more information and meeting particulars, email me at newsalonnyc@gmail.com.
We look forward to seeing you there!

No narrator is too unusual, no story too strange for our Us & Them event, as we hand over the mike to collective voices, extraordinary viewpoints and life-or-death clashes and connections.
