What is your bedtime ritual?
To be honest, my bedtime ritual is just to say thank you for everything that I haveâand thank you for all the things that I donât have, because those things werenât meant for meâand just to go to sleep with an attitude of gratitude, openness, and willingness to dream about the future.
What room in your house is your favorite and why?
In Georgia, my primary bedroom is my absolute favorite. It almost feels like Iâm in a royal suite from a castle. And in my California house, one of my guest bedrooms is my favorite room. Itâs so weird, I never sleep in my primary in California; I always sleep in the guest room thatâs right across from the primary suite. I just love the energy of that room. Itâs smaller, and I donât know, it just feels more cozy. There’s something about the energy of both.

What object in your house has some extra sentimental value to it?
In my Georgia house, I have a photo by Richard Avedon of a little Black boy in Harlem. I think itâs in 1940s, and it reminds me so much of my nephew, who I lost in a tragic accident a few years ago. He was three years old, and the boy in the picture is around the same age, so thatâs the most sentimental object in that house.

Describe an item in your home that you brought back from a trip that you really treasureâit might be tough, we know youâre traveling constantly.
I am traveling constantly, and most of the time Iâm traveling, all I bring back is clothes! All I bring back is vintageâwhich is my favorite thing. I did bring back a vintage Hermès Haut aÌ Courroies bag from the 1980s from a flea market in Paris.
