Someone please pinch me… because today felt like a dream. 💭✨
Rebel Reads Podcast came to life with our very first live, in-person recording at Blackout Studio in NYC. I can’t even put into words how much this day meant to me.
What started as a dream… an idea… turned into a room full of love, creativity, courage, and connection. I am overflowing with gratitude.
To the beautiful souls who made today possible: 📚 💛 — you are truly one of a kind. Your presence lit up the entire space. The way you speak, share, and open up — it’s powerful, it’s healing, and it’s exactly what Rebel Reads was created for. You didn’t just show up for a podcast… you showed up with your whole heart, and we felt every bit of it. Thank you for trusting this space, for being so raw and real about your journey, and for allowing us to witness the strength and beauty behind your words. I am beyond honored to have shared this moment with you. 💛 — having you there meant so much. Your podcast wisdom, your quiet encouragement, your belief in this vision — I felt it all. Thank you for holding space and lifting me up.
💛 — where do I even begin? You are the calm in the chaos, the steady hand behind the scenes, and the creative force that brought this whole vision to life. Your professionalism is unmatched, but it’s your heart that truly sets you apart. You showed up with patience, with care, and with a quiet confidence that made me feel safe and seen — like everything was possible. You didn’t just capture the moment… you helped create it. Every lighting cue, every camera angle, every piece of the atmosphere —You have a gift, Dante, and I’m beyond lucky to have had you bring your brilliance to this project. 🎙️🤩This wasn’t just a podcast episode. It was a moment. A beginning. A reminder that community, storytelling, and showing up as we are… that’s where the magic happens. Rebel Reads will be back with more live in-person episodes, more incredible authors, and more heart-filled conversations. Follow along we are just getting started 📖🌟⭐️🎙️
