On February 3, we arrived at the Los Angeles opening of Borrowed Spotlight in West Hollywood. The exhibition unfolded across three packed gallery rooms, along with a smaller adjoining space where a short film played on loop — intimate clips of Holocaust survivors speaking directly with the celebrities paired with them, sharing their stories face to face.
At the front of the gallery lay the coffee-table book the team has been working on for nearly four years. It is remarkable, filled with striking portraits and excerpts of testimony from each survivor, thoughtfully paired with a public figure helping to amplify their story. Lining the walls were large-scale photographs of the survivors — some alone, others mid-conversation — each accompanied by a brief paragraph recounting their lives. Interspersed throughout were quotes pulled directly from their words.
While the room was filled with celebrities who participated in the project, what mattered most was that the survivors themselves were there. Many of them had come.
One woman, nearly 100 years old, stepped onto the stage wearing a sparkling cobalt blue sweater. When we spoke with her afterward, she lit up talking about her pregnant granddaughter, who was also in attendance. Overcome with excitement, she shimmied and danced in place, full of life and animated. Nearby stood another survivor, 108 years old, dressed in a bright red sweater and gold sneakers. The energy in the room was alive in a way that felt rare and deeply moving. One survivor shared that he had not spoken his story aloud for more than 90 years before finally telling it for the first time with the Borrowed Spotlight team.
South African–born photographer Bryce Thompson also spoke during the evening, reflecting on the years he spent working on the project. Though he is not Jewish, he described feeling a deep responsibility to help preserve and share these stories, many of which had never been told publicly before.
Quotes from survivors lined the gallery walls:
“If you don’t tell your story, people won’t know.” — Gabriella Karin
“When someone puts out their hand, you never let it go empty.” — Yetta Kane
“My grandchildren are my revenge.” — Elizabeth Wilf
With fewer Holocaust survivors alive each year, the urgency of preserving these stories — in their own words — felt especially present.
One of the most moving moments of the evening came when 108-year-old survivor Risa Igelfeld stood up and signed her name on the back of her portrait. She beamed as she did it. As Jenna Dewan, who was paired up with her, reflected, ” I left with a really life-changing moment. It blew me away that somebody that I was dancing with survived the unimaginable and has such positivity and light and life force to her still at 108. And it just changed the way I see life and I hear life, my perspective.’
The photo exhibition runs until March 1 at Hancock Park.

Migraine is not a pretty word, but the advice that Jessie James Decker gave out during a recent panel put a spotlight on how to make the world more beautiful if you have them.
Jessie got candid about her personal journey with migraine and its impact on her closest relationships in front of a crowd of a hundred. Expert advice from Nedra Glover Tawwab on maintaining connection in relationships was also shared. Linda Davis, MD and Aubrey Adams, Ph.D also shared medical information that was crucial to live a life full of wonderful days.
Understanding the meaning of migraine and how to deal with it as you help navigate your loving relationships was a key message during the fantastic event.

Love in Mind helps recognize that migraine is more than just a headache. It is an underdiagnosed, undertreated neurological disease that can cause debilitating pain affecting nearly 40 million Americans.
“It was very important for me to be here today to share a message of hope,” stated Decker.
The Love in Mind awareness initiative event featured real stories, and insights from the expert panel. The room was in awe as they equally unpacked their own stories and shared times about the moments migraine interrupts. Whether a date night to intimate connections, it can have a deep impact on your life. But being hopeful and having a meaningful conversation about the emotional and physical impact of living with migraine with a partner and even family is important toward positive lifestyle choices.
The Love in Mind survey, recently conducted online by Harris Poll on behalf of AbbVie, took a closer look at how
migraine can affect the emotional, social, and romantic lives of 606 adults living with the disease.
Most survey respondents (89%) agreed* it’s hard to feel present in a romantic relationship when experiencing a migraine attack; a reminder that migraine can extend beyond physical symptoms. Love often takes a rain check. More than half (51%) of survey respondents have cancelled or rescheduled a date due to migraine attacks. On average, they have done so eight times in the past twelve months.
Behind closed doors, the struggle to maintain intimacy can be a challenge. Of those surveyed, 78% of respondents agreed* they sometimes try to push past the pain of migraine attacks to be more physically intimate.
“These survey results highlight how migraine can extend beyond the physical to affect the relationships
and moments that matter most, including how we pursue relationships, maintain connection, and view
ourselves as romantic partners,” said Aubrey Adams, PhD, therapeutic area head, migraine, medical
affairs, AbbVie. “Understanding and acknowledging these impacts is an important part of managing
migraine. Open conversations with a healthcare provider about how migraine truly affects daily life –
relationships, confidence, and sense of self – can be a meaningful step toward comprehensive care.”

It was 21 degrees on a February evening in New York City, the kind of cold that makes you question every decision—especially a train ride from Brooklyn. With the OMNY card now charging $7 per ride and $14 round trip, It’s not a compliant… but let me be clear: this event was worth every stop, swipe, and shiver.
