Exciting day. In preparation for the installing of my “living portrait’ by Hugo Crosthwaite into the National Portrait Gallery tomorrow, there was a gala celebration at the home of Jeff Bezos 2330 S Street, NW. His home is an enormous mansion that goes on and on. It was formally a textile museum that he converted to his Washington DC home. The guest list was AAA. Notable conversations well with Jose Andres who wants to cook a special one-on-one dinner with me at his home in DC. Also I had a very serious conversation with Hillary Clinton who said that she thinks about me every day knowing that I will have an experience if the GOP games either chamber of the Congress similar to her experience with Benghazi. She offered to appear with me at the hearings as a physical show of support. I am not so sure that that is a great idea since that might politicize me even more than I've been politicized. I also have a warm conversation with Marian Wright Edelman…and several others. The other awardees (and their presenters) were: Jose Andres (Laurene Powell Jobs), Clive Davis (Alicia Keyes)Ava DuVernay (Isabel Wilkerson), Marian Wright Edelman (Hillary Clinton), Serena Williams (Mellody Hobson) Venus Williams (Sonya Haffey and Isha Price) David Rubenstein will present me. After the gala we were invited to another gala at the Cafe Milano, celebrating their 30th anniversary. I went there out of respect to Franco Nuschese. However, it was somewhat of a stressful experience since I got completely surrounded by “well-wishers” who anted selfies and/or to shake my hands. It was really overwhelming and reminds me why I will need security for some time.
