What a JOY to get to help celebrate 20 years of @shondaland wonderment being loose out there in the world! 🤩🥂🎉
Getting to be a part of this family not only changed my life, but also makes it better every day. The friendship & adventures & giggles & love- even the relatively few moments of adversity- all of it continues to help me grow into the person I wanna be.
That includes the enduring kindness from each of YOU. I hope everyone out there is feeling loved by your chosen family today too- & that you remember to celebrate the milestones, big & small!
And here's to the stories that Shonda & Betsy & everyone at every level of Shondaland has shared with us over these first 20 years. I can't WAIT to see what's in store in the NEXT 20!
I'm sending everyone so very much LOVE! 😘🍷🍿🥰❤️🎉
ps: extra love to @lizomakeup for making me spiffy🤓💄
・・・
Betsy and I had dinner the other day and found ourselves reflecting. It’s so hard to believe it’s been 20 years!! 20 years since we almost committed going door to door to MAKE people watch our show 🤣.

We could tell you exactly what’s next but where’s the fun in that? One thing’s for sure: we have no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

Thank you, @craigmelvinnbc, for moderating—and to the @paleycenter for a wonderful evening and for bringing together some of my favorite people to celebrate #Shondaland20.

Wanted to give a special shout out to the She Leads with CARE podcast THEME MUSIC today 🥰 & let you see a little BTS of it being created. Our podcast was made of dreams & a lot of elbow grease- that means some favors were called in. I asked my sweet husband @pedrosegundoofficial to create a sonic setting for everyone as they listened, in the hopes you'd feel like someone had just tucked you under a warm, loving blanket that spanned the whole world. 🥰 I love what he created & hope you do too! She Leads with CARE is available on all platforms for your enjoyment. hope today is being great to you & that wherever you are, you're feeling loved! 💗❤️💗❤️

For this week's episode of She Leads with CARE, we got to travel to the Son La province of Vietnam to meet Binh. 🇻🇳 Binh's family has always worked in coffee cultivation there, but had always sold the beans after the harvest. Binh saw an opportunity to maximize her family's participation in the coffee sector by starting to process, package, & distribute their own beans.

What she could never have predicted though is that she would turn out to have one of the world's foremost palates for coffee roasting!

She is now known as the "nose and mouth" of her newly formed Ara Tay Coffee Collective!

And all of this growth happened with just a little help from CARE.

My heart is so full because this is the last episode we made in this first season. I dearly hope we get to share more stories like these- & I hope you're enjoying meeting these women & remembering what we're all capable of when we care about each other & invest in ourselves, in each other, & in our communities. 🥰

I'm sending each of you so very much love. Trust your dreams, support each other, & let's keep trying to make this world a little better for us all. 🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡

Oh, NYC, you know I love you every day, but some days are just extra special. 🥰 There's nothing like sitting on a bench in the sun in Central Park on that first real day of springtime & enjoying watching folks parade by, everyone smiling & feeling connected. Special thank you to the stranger who kindly offered to take this pic for us. Now, should my memory dim, I have a reminder of the warmth of that sun, of the kindness of the day. Hope wherever you are today, you're feeling that warmth & kindness too. I'm sending you much love! 💗❤️

Getting to talk with Señora Theresa this week really moved me. On top of her agricultural expertise & relationship with Mother Earth, she is so invested in making this world a better & more equitable place for everyone. Through love. She reminded me that community is everything, & that huge change can start one conversation at a time. (She is also the only guest who asked ME questions, so that was fun too.🤓) I hope wherever you are, today is being great to you. And I hope that Theresa's thoughts will fill your heart as they filled mine. I'm sending you so much love! 💗❤️

XIFAXAN® (rifaximin) is indicated for the reduction in risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) recurrence in adults.

Caring for a loved one with #OvertHepaticEncephalopathy (OHE) isn’t easy - but you’re not alone. When my dad was diagnosed with cirrhosis, which eventually led to OHE, there was so much we didn’t know. Resources were limited, and navigating his care felt overwhelming. I wish we’d had more guidance back then. Today, there are better tools and support for caregivers. Beyond tracking symptoms, having a management plan can make a big difference. This can include medical care, lifestyle adjustments, and a trusted healthcare team. Swipe through for key tips to help you create a plan that works for you and your loved one. For more caregiver resources and support, or to learn about Xifaxan, visit xifaxan.com or speak with your loved one’s physician.

For U.S. audiences only. Xifaxan is the first and only medicine approved for reducing the risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy recurrence in adults. Do not use Xifaxan if you are allergic to Xifaxan or any of its components, or to other rifamycin antibiotics. See full Important Safety Information included in the video.

This was the picture on my adoption announcement. 🥰 It was taken 55 years ago today when I came from foster care to start living my my new family. I celebrate the start of that new chapter every April 7th, & I celebrate all that came before it too. I know a lot of you are connected through adoption- celebrating both sides of a Gotcha Day in your own lives. 🥰 I send you LOVE. It remains magical to me how quickly love can make a family. 💗 Hug the folks in your circle today- & beam love towards those all around you too, even the ones you may not know yet. 'Cause at the end of the day, we are ALL connected- & loving each other is what makes this life worth living. I'm hugging each of you with my heart. Today & always. 💗❤️💗

What an honor to get to have this conversation with Bhagavati. An accident caused her father to lose the ability to do his job when she was young, so their family moved from the chic Tamil section of Katmandu, Nepal to the landless community there. Her journey led her to become a land & women's rights activist, shaping attitudes & changing laws through her advocacy. Join us on this latest episode of She Leads with CARE to learn more about her story- & how we can all change the world, when we care. Hope you're having a beautiful day, wherever you are! 💜🧡💜🧡💜

@1stgenyale TY for taking me & Pedro under your wing- & TY @kinohugo for creating such a wonderful afternoon for us all!🥰 But most of all, THANK YOU to everyone involved in @buenavistamusical on Broadway for infusing the world with your JOY & ARTISTRY!

The album Buena Vista Social Club already means so much to so many, but this new iteration- crafted from real events & events that feel like they should be real (as they say in the show)- takes that impact to a whole other level. It is the healing we need right now. Never skirting the hard truths, but always reminding us that art, that dance, that MUSIC, will always help us survive.

To @saheemscene @justin_peck @pattideldancer & every cast & crew member, BRAVI TUTTI!!! 🔥🎶👑💃🏻❤️🎉

I'm still glowing from the light you all are sharing. 🥰

Hope everyone is having a beautiful day. I'm sending you much love!! 💗❤️💗

Wow! What an experience for a group of Yalies, who got together for the first time and are now friends!

Shelly Rivas '06 shared, "Last night’s event watching the spectacular Buena Vista Social Club on Broadway was magical and it was made even more special with our opportunity to meet cast members after the show. Connecting with other members of 1stGenYale was invigorating, as always. I look forward to more of these events and am grateful there is a space like this within the greater alumni community.”

Sixteen Yalies had a blast totally moved by the beauty, emotions, and music of this new smash hit, followed by a talkback with Leonardo Reyna, Wesley Wray, Martin Sola, and Carlos Gonzalez from the show. Then we all enjoyed a Cuban dinner at Victor's Cafe.

Thank you to Yuet-Ming Chu and Hugo Perez for making this special day happen! Hugo wrote the text for "Every Cuban Song Has a Story to Tell" which accompanies the Playbill.

Go see Buena Vista Social Club! You will love it!

When we care. 🧡 I hope each of you is having a beautiful weekend- & I hope you're enjoying being a part of our She Leads with CARE podcast family! 🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡

ABOUT LAST NIGHT 🤩🔥🎉

We gathered in DC to celebrate the work of the national @womenshistory museum. Since 1996, the digital-first museum is making sure that women's contributions & achievements are accessible to everyone, everywhere through their programming & educational resources because we can't be what we can't see! 🥰

We also put a spotlight on 4 inspiring trailblazers: @therealopallee (Grandmother of Juneteenth), @sarablakely (innovator & entrepreneur), Shirley Ryan (founder of @pathwaysorg ), & @mattel (global changemaker). 🤩🔥👑

Special shout out to Table 8 & @frederiqueirwin for inviting me to be a part of this wonderful night. 🥰

Also ENORMOUS thanks to @douglasmrwright for his styling GENIUS. I mean, can you EVEN with that DRESS??? 🤯😻
@wiederhoeft makes the dress, @alexandrebirman made the shoes, & @vhernier made the earrings & bracelet. 😍

I hope everyone is headed into as beautiful a weekend as possible! Celebrate the women in your life & know that I'm sending you so very much LOVE! ❤️💗❤️💗❤️

Guys, Rebecca Frecknall's production of A Streetcar Named Desire currently running at @bam_brooklyn may be the very best piece of theater I've ever been lucky enough to see. It absolutely FLOORED me. I've lived with & wrestled with that play for what feels like my whole life, but she & the AMAZING cast & musicians, & the whole production team have cracked it WIDE OPEN- & with it, every heart that gets to bear witness.
There is so much to love & to be grateful for.
If you can get there before it closes, I know it will be with you for the rest of your days. It sure will be with me.
(And YES: Paul Mescal, Anjana Vasan, & PATSY 👑 FERRAN are INCREDIBLE. 🔥)
I'm sending each of you so very much love & hoping today is being gentle on you. 💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗
ps: the drums are a big part of this production, this the Art Blakey homage 🥁
pps: @unsubscribed , I am LOVING this sweater🤓🥰

XIFAXAN® (rifaximin) is indicated for the reduction in risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) recurrence in adults.
“It’s so important that you don’t feel alone.” This really resonated when Betsy Villiotti, Vice President of NASH kNOWledge, and OHE caregiver said it during our discussion about caring for a loved one with #overthepaticencephalopathy. Watching my father’s OHE symptoms progress was extremely difficult, and at the time, my family felt a lot of shame about his diagnosis. Now there are so many great support communities and resources for caregivers, and there are medication options like Xifaxan. Back when my father was diagnosed, options were limited, and it was so encouraging to hear Betsy share her husband’s journey with OHE. Watch our discussion and then visit Xifaxan.com to learn more and to get resources from the Caregiver Corner.
For U.S. audiences only. Xifaxan is the first and only medicine approved for reducing the risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy recurrence in adults. Do not use Xifaxan if you are allergic to Xifaxan or any of its components, or to other rifamycin antibiotics. See full Important Safety Information included in the video.

What a NIGHT- & what a cause for celebration! This year, the @vineyardtheatre honored the LEGEND himself @joethemorton 🤩👑🔥 And lemme tell you, the LOVE in the room was equaled only by the JOY & the AWE. 🥰

Joe has already given us decades of industry-defining work on stage & screen- & he also continues to be a cherished friend & tireless advocate to & for so many. This world is so much better because you are in it, Joe!! Thank you for every damn moment that you've already blessed us with- & here's to all that's still ahead. 🥂

And thank you also to the Vineyard Theater for the beautiful work you foster & share: it was great fun to get to celebrate you too. 🥰 There are still ways to support the Vineyard online via @charitybuzz (many cool auction items), if you are so inclined!

And let's all just take a moment as we head into the weekend to have a private smile at our favorite- SO FAR- Joe Morton acting moment. Or hug. 🤓 TOUGH TO CHOOSE!!!

Sending everyone much love. May the weekend be gentle on us all. 💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗

On Random Acts of Kindness Day, one of the most meaningful acts we can do is to check in on the health and well-being of those we care about. A thoughtful conversation can make a world of difference.

Sometimes, changes in the people closest to us can seem unnoticeable because we see them so often and just gradually get used to the little differences that an acquaintance might notice right away. Looking back, I wish I had known my dad’s liver disease might affect his brain by progressing to #OvertHepaticEncephalopathy (OHE). I was a teenager when we first found out he had liver disease, and I wish my family had been told what changes might be ahead and what we should look for as we cared for him. Symptoms like lack of energy, confusion, personality changes, worsening of handwriting, and loss of small hand movements can be symptoms of OHE. In my dad's case, when I finally did notice that he was becoming increasingly forgetful - that he wasn’t really himself - he was already very far into his journey with OHE. But thankfully, now there are things that can help manage this disease. There is community, and there is knowledge, so there’s hope. Today, there is Xifaxan to help reduce the risk of OHE recurrence in adults. Learn more by speaking to a doctor and visiting Xifaxan.com.

For U.S. audiences only. Xifaxan is the first and only medicine approved for reducing the risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy recurrence in adults.

Caregivers can have such an important role in recognizing symptoms that can lead to a diagnosis and in management of a loved one’s #overthepaticencephalopathy. Growing up, my dad’s liver disease led to OHE, and there is so much I wish we would have known. Now I’m thankful for the opportunity to connect with other OHE caregivers like Betsy Villiotti, Vice President of NASH kNOWledge, who shared heartfelt stories of her husband’s OHE diagnosis and journey. We are grateful to share our experiences and hope it inspires other caregivers. For more resources or to learn about Xifaxan, visit the Caregiver Corner of xifaxan.com.

I'm sharing a piece I wrote about my mom's journey with domestic violence. It broke my heart over & over to write it (of course even more so to watch her live it), but if it helps even one person, then that's all that matters now. I'm sending each of you so very much love. Tonight & always. Let's try to take good care of each other. 💗❤️

“My mom died at the end of 2023, right after her 83rd birthday. Which doesn’t sound all that remarkable — until I mention that she had been a victim of domestic partner abuse up until the year before her death,” “Scandal”s’ Bellamy Young writes in a guest column for the L.A. Times.
“Mom hadn’t exactly been lucky in love. She had already buried four husbands (cancer, heart attack, COPD, cancer) by the time she met This Guy, who doesn’t deserve to be named here. But Mom never wanted to be alone. It was her deepest fear. She would get the look I get when I talk about sharks.
She powered through her lack of computer skills and met This Guy online about eight years ago. We would joke that she had to import him from Tennessee because there were no good men left in western North Carolina. It was a long-distance relationship at first: She would cook for him at the house I’d helped her buy outside of Asheville, and drive to Tennessee to go to church with him.
Eventually, he brought his two cats and moved into Mom’s house. I’d watched her go through this phase with a new man a few times, bless her heart, but there seemed to be far less joy now. ‘At least he’s smart,’ she kept saying, as if to excuse his excessive drinking or unnerving silence.
The life she made with This Guy got smaller and smaller. She dropped out of her book club and her service organization. They stopped going to church. They no longer made plans with friends. After experiencing the drinking and fighting firsthand — or just the tense silence — people stopped coming over. Mom closed the door to her own cage and chose This Guy. Over life, over fun, over safety.”

Today would have been mom's birthday. It's my first Nov 26th without her. And it's rocked me. So, I'm sending love out to her- with enormous gratitude for the life she gave me & the person she helped me to become- & I'm sending love to everyone who's facing the holiday season with an empty chair at the table. The love remains. I keep telling myself that. And I keep trying to be gentle with myself around the pain & the memories. Hope you take good care of yourselves during the holidays. And remember to love everyone as deeply & as joyfully as possible every day we get the chance. I'm hugging each of you with my heart. 💗❤️

But to get to experience a one night only bespoke piece of immersive theater crafted by the genius talents of IAMA Theater Company & celebrating the history of the INCREDIBLE (now completely reimagined) @casalomabeachhotel & of Laguna itself... well, that was next level pinch-me-is-this-really-happening wonderment. 🤩🎭🎉
Thank you, John & Ginna!! Thank, KT & Shappy! TY, ShondaLand & IAMA fams, for filling this life with love-soaked fun. TY, theater, for always showing us our own hearts & helping us find our way.
And welcome to the world, Casa Loma Beach Hotel!!! You are pure magic.
