In 2019, this magazine launched its Education Awards to recognize the outstanding people, programs, and institutions in Palm Beach County’s academic community. It started as a small endeavor with an awards ceremony and panel discussion highlighting issues and opportunities in education. To maximize reader engagement, we presented the finalists for the coveted Educator of the Year Award in a September cover story—a tradition that continues today.

Four years later, with the help of sponsors Schumacher Automotive Group and Tree of Life Foundation International, the Education Awards have doubled in reach, and we have added both a new recognition category and a cash award for the winning educator. I urge you to meet the six finalists—including cover star Pranoo Kumar Skomra—in “Making the Grade” on page 63. Each of these individuals deserves the honor of Educator of the Year for bringing out-of-the-box thinking to the classroom and for allowing students to feel heard, accepted, and free to express themselves.

Our focus on education continues with a story on FAU’s new Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute in Jupiter, where neuroscientists and researchers will study the intricacies of the brain and brain-related disorders with a goal of finding answers to complicated questions that so far have eluded science. If we discover a cure for Alzheimer’s or depression one day, don’t be surprised if it starts right here. Learn more in “Mind Matters” on page 70.

Some time ago, I spoke with Rabbi Moshe Scheiner of the Palm Beach Synagogue about a new program he co-founded with businessman/philanthropist Larry Sosnow. At the time, the Solomon Leadership Program was just getting off the ground, but it was clear that the vision was solid: mentor promising young minds to become tomorrow’s leaders.

The ambitious program included training in ethics, critical thinking, and sound decisionmaking skills for a foundation not only in business, but also in life. Unsurprisingly, the Solomon Leadership Program has expanded beyond Palm Beach to four other communities and continues to grow. Read our report, “Leading the Way,” on page 88.

This month you’ll also notice a change in the magazine’s look, with a design refresh and new departments being introduced between now and the end of the year. We always strive to keep our award-winning content and design fresh for our readers. Let me know what you think!

A timely treatment.

A better outlook.

At Lynn Cancer Institute, we know that the sooner treatment begins after a cancer diagnosis, the better the chances of success. We also know that cancer can behave very differently from one patient to another. That’s why Lynn Cancer Institute, established at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, is here to walk by your side. We invest in research and medical innovation to provide the latest advancements in cancer science. This approach allows our oncologists to determine the best course of action based on a patient’s unique genetic makeup. This gives us better opportunities to improve patient care, especially for those who don’t respond to traditional treatments. That’s the level of personalized, expert care our patients deserve, delivered with the heart of Baptist Health.

Better. For You. Learn more at BRRH.com/LCI or by calling 561-955-LYNN (5966).

SPOTLIGHT

COURTESY OF ANGARI FOUNDATION

In the Name of SCIENCE Yachts are a dime a dozen around Palm Beach, but not all quality vessels are relegated to a fate as purveyors of leisure. Just ask sisters Angela and Kari Rosenberg, who repurposed a 65-foot Grand Alaskan trawler for the sake of marine science research.

The Rosenbergs founded the West Palm Beach–based Angari Foundation in 2016, with the goal of developing a global community around marine and environmental sciences. The R/V Angari is a crucial player in the sisters’ mission. Around $1 million and four months went into the purchase and refitting of the vessel, which included “converting the living room into a laboratory, setting up a dive center with a compressor and gear, upgrading all the navigation and communication electronics, and installing a larger generator to support high-powered research equipment,” Angela says. The Angari has since participated in more than 45 research expeditions, from Shark Week specials to post–Hurricane Dorian environmental surveys to sea turtle studies in Everglades National Park.

The Angari operates along the East Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, and the northern Caribbean and is available to science and film teams to charter for day and overnight research expeditions. The sisters endeavor to support long-term ocean research and will continue to offer the Angari at a low cost to scientists. “We recognize that scientists are faced with limited research funding, and the cost of getting out on the water is often the most expensive component of a study,” Angela says. “We want Angari to fill this need for years to come.” (angari.org) –Skye Sherman

Samantha Marulli (pictured far right) created a scholarship in honor of her late sister Jessica (pictured here, right, with her sister Marisa).

Sometimes, the most heartbreaking experiences of our lives spark our greatest moves for good. This was the case when Palm Beacher Samantha Marulli created the Jessica Marulli Memorial Scholarship in honor of her late sister. Months after a picture-perfect wedding at St. Edward’s, where she served as eucharistic minister, Jessica was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She passed away in 2016.

Samantha launched the scholarship fund in 2018—on what would have been Jessica’s forty-second birthday—with a Bruce Sutka–designed evening at Marulli’s parents’ home on the island; more than 250 guests attended, raising $250,000 in one night. “The inspiration for launching the foundation came as a collective effort between my father and [me], celebrating not only Jessica’s legacy, but her vigor for our youth to become leaders through education,” says Samantha.

Funded mostly by a network of donors, the foundation benefits promising arts and sciences students at Franklin Pierce University, their father’s alma mater, and has allotted full-ride scholarships to 11 students since its inception. “Our mission is to embrace Jessica’s story, hopefully impacting these students to help guide them into a prosperous life by obtaining an education,” adds Samantha, who hopes to grow the foundation to offer five scholarships annually. “The students who have graduated are in thriving careers, and the others are on track to graduate and begin their professional lives free of student debt and with a bright future ahead of them.” (marullimemorialscholarship.com) –S.S.

GROWING GOOD You may have heard of Blend Palm Beach County, a program that nurtures minority-owned food-based business enterprises by fostering community connections, but did you know that the organization pours into future chefs as well? Blend PBC’s agricultural elementary school program uses indoor microgreen harvesting to teach students economic sustainability in a hands-on way. Aside from activities like farm-totable smoothie-making and pizza-building, elementary agriculturists can sell their pea shoots and arugula sprouts to local restaurants; this past June, microgreens grown at two local elementary schools in marginalized communities were used in Blend PBC chefs’ masterpieces at the Mayor’s Ball at the Palm 30

Beach County Convention Center. “Every dish tells a story, and we hope that ours embody the essence of community education and betterment,” says Trinnette Morris, executive director of Blend PBC. “Nothing tastes sweeter than helping Black and brown communities through the social and emotional learning that is taught through gardening.” (blendpbc.org) —S.S.

1. There’s a lot to love about your local library, not the least of which is its abundance of educational programs—all available for free. Send kiddos to the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach Afterschool Homework Help Center, where certified teachers assist with homework, projects, and test prep (there are free snacks, too). Teens can also take advantage of STEM programs, a homework center, or SAT and college prep workshops in partnership with Path to College. But learning doesn’t stop when school’s over: The Career Online High School program gives qualified adult learners the opportunity to earn a diploma and career certificate online. (wpblf.org) 2. West Palm Beacher Elizabeth Bornia founded the Communication Arts Academy, South Florida’s first independent program for fourth through eighth graders interested in communications, to introduce students to such practical arts as creative writing, graphic design, speech and debate, and TV/video production. With a knack for helping students nail their magnet program auditions, the academy’s class options range from

The mission of Path to College is to help overlooked but driven students gain acceptance into top-tier universities, often with fullride scholarships—and the majority of the time, they succeed. But to do so requires a threeyear commitment (beginning in tenth grade) between student and mentor, with whom they will work one-on-one on a weekly basis to build their academic confidence and study for the SAT. Hands-on experiences in the program include internships, field trips, job shadowing, industry panel discussions, local service projects, and more. (pathtocollege.org) —S.S.

Power to the People A TEACHER’S PASSION FUELS A CROSS-CULTURAL CONNECTION BETWEEN LOCAL STUDENTS AND THEIR KENYAN COUNTERPARTS

For more than 30 years, Jim Cummings has been working tirelessly to help children in Kenya gain better access to education. But he’s also connecting those students with kids here in Palm Beach County.

“We’re in it together. What happens there impacts us, and what happens here impacts people there,” he says. “It’s to our benefit to build up and invest in Kenya.”

Cummings’ passion for education and appreciation for Kenyan culture began when he spent time teaching in the country after graduating from college. “When I came back to the States, I started telling stories about this extraordinary experience and eventually developed a desire to give back to the community that launched me on this career,” he says.

It’s a career that brought Cummings to Palm Beach County, where he has taught history at both The Benjamin School and Seminole Ridge High School. It’s also where his nonprofit, Kijana, was born.

“I started a little fundraiser with the cross-country team at Benjamin to help the school in Kenya I taught at,” he recalls. “Eventually, in 2002, we officially formed Kijana.”

“Kijana” means “youth” or “young person” in Swahili, and the term speaks to the organization’s main goal to empower youth. “My vision is to develop a holistic education including the arts, global connectivity, environmental protection, and helping these kids develop skills that are necessary for

twenty-first century learning,” Cummings says.

His dream became a reality in 2020 when his group opened the doors to its first-ever Global Innovation THERE’S JUST School. “There’s just nothing like it in all of western Kenya,” SO MUCH he notes.

When we leave them out and don’t invest in them, we lose out.”

THE PROS OF PROTEIN

REPLACEMENTS FOR PROTEIN POWDERS IN SMOOTHIES

HOW MUCH THE BODY NEEDS AND THE BEST SOURCES FOR IT

he supplemental protein industry racks in billions of dollars annually, and you needn’t look far to spot the marketing: There are aisles dedicated to protein bars and powders at grocery stores, plus countless online ads and influencer campaigns suggesting that drinking protein shakes after workouts and snacking on bars throughout the day is the secret to building stronger muscles and losing unwanted weight. But what’s really in these powders and bars?

Because the Food and Drug Administration classifies these products as dietary supplements, manufacturers do not have to disclose all their ingredients. Many are loaded with added and/or artificial sugars, as well as processed proteins (a leading cause of inflammation) from either whey (cow), soy, or pea. Other potential ingredients include chemical thickeners, binders, and emulsifiers; pesticides; BPA; and heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury.

Protein is essential for the body to build muscle, regulate the immune system, and support hormone, collagen, and elastin

production. When you eat a protein, whether it be plant or animal, your body breaks it down into amino acids. Your liver then sorts out what it needs and sends it where it needs to go; the rest is flushed out in your urine.

Your body does this very efficiently if the protein is a real, whole source from plants or animals. Remember: If you don’t recognize an ingredient, neither will your body.

»

ANIMAL PROTEIN SOURCES

» Turkey: 48 grams per 6 oz. » Chicken: 46 grams per 6 oz. » Pork loin: 46 grams per 6 oz » Halibut: 42 grams per 6 oz. » Steak: 42 grams per 6 oz. » Shrimp: 40 grams per 6 oz. » Tuna: 40 grams per 6 oz. » Salmon: 34 grams per 6 oz. » Egg: 6 grams

per large egg

So how much protein do you need and where should you get it? A less active person will need .75 gram per kilogram of body weight.

So, a 135-pound woman will need roughly 50 grams per day, and a 190-pound man will need 65 grams. A more active person will need to double the protein. Kids aged 4 to 9 need 19 grams per day, 9 to 13 need 34 grams, and 14 to 18 need 40 to 50 grams.

Read on to discover some of the best animal and plant sources of protein and easy recipes to try now.

P NT PROTEIN SOURCES

» Lentils: 18 grams per cup » Edamame: 17 grams per cup » Chickpeas: 15 grams per cup » Peas: 8 grams per cup » Quinoa: 8 grams per cup » Tofu: 8 grams per 3 oz. » Spinach: 5 grams per cup » Avocado: 4 grams per avocado » Guava: 4 grams per cup » Brussels sprouts: 3 grams per cup » Sweet potato: 3 grams per potato » Green beans: 2 grams per cup

EUROPEAN LEGENDS CELEBRATE A RETURN TO EUROPE BY STAYING IN SOME OF THE CONTINENT’S MOST FABLED—AND FASHIONABLE—PROPERTIES

BELMOND

BY PAUL RUBIO

CIPRIANI, A BELMOND HOTEL, VENICE The essence of Italy’s la dolce vita

A bridge-linked maze of Renaissance-era palazzos, Gothic edifices, Byzantine domes, and Baroque buildings, Venice rises as a man-made water world reflecting architectural and cultural influences that span nearly a millennium. To fully embrace the magic of these history-steeped islands, head south of St. Mark’s Square to the isle of Giudecca, where Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel delivers the best in Venetian views, old-school glamour, and modern hospitality.

Void of the crowds and confined spaces of Venice proper, sprawling Cipriani promises comforts uncommon to the region. Think: oversize guest rooms and suites, an Olympic-size swimming pool, artstrewn gardens, traditional vineyards, and personality-driven spots for indulging in Italian gastronomy and mixology. Days here begin with strong coffee

and regional delicacies at waterside Caffè San Giorgio, cozy under an umbrella-capped table, admiring the gondolas and wooden boats that float by. Board the five-minute water taxi to Venice’s main island, where ambles through labyrinthine alleys lead to unexpected discoveries in history, retail therapy, and Instagram-worthy moments.

Come early afternoon, don’t miss the chance to lunch light—and drink heavy—at Cip’s Club, the property’s famed overwater restaurant with unmatched panoramas of the Venetian skyline.

Then, relax in your elegantly appointed guest room or suite, enjoying the breeze from your balcony or terrace—every unit has one—or capitalize on the myriad alfresco amenities before primping for a night of Michelin-starred cuisine, theater, opera, and/or cocktails at celeb-frequented Harry’s Bar. (belmond.com)

Clockwise from top left: Cipriani’s sprawling pool; Caffè San Giorgio; rooftop views; Dogaressa Suite.

LE MEURICE, PARIS

Paris’ most coveted address

Clockwise from above: Tuileries Garden; Restaurant le Meurice Alain Ducasse; view from the Belle Etoile suite; an Executive Room, Park View.

Twelve exalted properties in the City of Light carry official Palace status, a distinction above five stars and indicative of a starring role in French heritage, culture, and gastronomy. Among this elite group, none garners more global reverence than Le Meurice, Paris’ original palace hotel—a destination that’s equal parts ultra-luxury and living museum.

Since its debut in 1835, Le Meurice has commanded the spotlight, shaped by the dignitaries, artists, and thinkers who’ve called the palace home (names like Dalí, Picasso, and Warhol) as well as pioneering achievements in hospitality. For example, Le Meurice was the first hotel in Paris to have a telephone (circa 1889) and the first to install a private bathroom in every guest room and suite (circa 1907).

Nowadays, the property remains equally relevant by offering the timeless, distinctly Parisian stay that travelers desire. Renovated in 2019, guest rooms and suites epitomize the Parisian dream, with handcrafted classic French-style furniture and swoon-worthy views; book an Executive Room, Park View for a panorama that spans Tuileries Garden, the Louvre, Place de la Concorde, and the Eiffel Tower. Multiple Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse oversees the property’s dining in its entirety, meaning every meal is one to remember. Meanwhile, the hotel’s Dalí-inspired common spaces invite hotel guests and visitors—dressed to kill in haute couture—to sit, pose, and ruminate on the splendor that surrounds.

PARK HYATT VIENNA

In recent years, Vienna has gained traction as a capital of European cool, with plenty of oldmeets-new marvels to prove it. Case in point: Park Hyatt Vienna, an exceptional adaptive reuse of the Bank of Austria’s former headquarters in the heart of Vienna. Behind the stately earlytwentieth-century facade of the UNESCO-listed building, uncover a hotel that balances finance and history with finesse.

Underground, the original floor-to-ceiling vault door opens to a strong room aglow in blues and yellows, anchored by a sleek swimming pool and flanked by a state-of-the-art gymnasium and world-class spa. At ground level, the cashier’s hall—with original stained-glass pieces and exquisite marble columns—now houses The Bank Brasserie and Bar, serving new interpretations of brasserie classics. A central marble staircase and glass elevator leads to 143 rooms and suites exuding Viennese sophistication, all with large closets and bathrooms and embellished in dark woods, mother-of-pearl, and marble. Thanks to the building’s original design, units on the first and second floors boast double-story ceilings, branding them the most coveted within Park Hyatt’s inventory.

The former bank’s riches spill to the surrounding area, too. Just beyond the doors of the Park Hyatt Vienna, discover such renowned sights as Café Central, a storied hangout once frequented by the likes of Freud and Trotsky; the Hofburg, the former Imperial Palace of the Habsburg dynasty; and St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna’s most adorned religious structure.

Caribbean QUEEN NASSAU’S BAHA MAR CHAMPIONS THE EVOLUTION OF MEGARESORT CHIC

BY PAUL RUBIO

When the $4.2 billion excess that is Baha Mar debuted on Nassau’s Cable Beach in 2017, it revolutionized the concept of a megaresort.

Despite its ambitious size, the property shined for its top-notch service, quality brands, and world-class experiences. Five years later, Baha Mar continues to wow with new activations, eateries, and events, plus an array of posh accommodations.

Baha Mar boasts numerous room and suite structures across its three hotel brands: Grand Hyatt, SLS, and Rosewood. Chief among these offerings are the 6,200-square-foot oceanside six-bedroom villas at Rosewood Baha Mar, which are the resort’s most lavish accommodations to date. When venturing outside, consider spending ample time at the new 15-acre Baha Bay, home to a sprawling “luxury waterpark” that speaks to Baha Mar’s larger-than-life allure. Sure, there are plenty of thrilling slides—don’t miss the high-speed Dueling Riptide

Clockwise from right: The FlowRider at Baha Bay’s waterpark; Flamingo Yoga; the Baha Mar complex in its entirety; the Baha Bay Beach Club; Baha Mar’s casino, the largest in the Caribbean.

Coaster—plus a 500,000-gallon wave pool, a lazy river, and a surf simulator. But throw in some gourmet food options, an outdoor casino, and a beach club (equipped with full-service private cabanas, hammocks, and two infinity-edge swimming pools) and discover exactly how a waterpark garners elite status.

Augmenting an already impressive collection of more than 45 restaurants and bars are two of the biggest names in the industry. Chef Marcus Samuelsson puts a Southern spin on Bahamian cuisine with Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House, featuring crave-worthy dishes such as conch croquettes and spicy prawns complemented by juicy fried chicken and marshmallow-crusted sweet potato mash.

A second outpost by Samuelsson, the more casual Streetbird on the Beach, serves the likes of crispy chicken sandwiches (slathered in hot pepper mayo) and calypso fritters (a conch–salt fish hybrid) from a food truck anchored in the sand. Icon Daniel Boulud imports a taste of France with Café Boulud, The Bahamas. Here, the marquee chef peppers a menu of French classics and signature dishes

As the world embraces the return of person-to-person interaction, Baha Mar follows suit with daily instructor-led programming. Try the one-of-a-kind Flamingo Yoga, stretching and planking among the property’s resident flock. Choose from a roster of art classes conducted at The Current Gallery & Art Center, including botanical leaf printing, landscape painting, and acrylic pouring. Hone your cooking skills with sessions for the entire family, or select others catering to just adults or kids.

Alternatively, craft your own schedule of active and leisurely pursuits, capitalizing on the surfeit of amenities. With multiple swimming pools, the Caribbean’s only flagship ESPA spa, the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus signature design Royal Blue Golf Course, the largest casino in the Caribbean, and a shopping arcade of 30 high-end brands, everything from fun in the sun to retail therapy is on tap.

Beyond its glorious day-to-day delights, Baha Mar has found a niche hosting events that appeal to gourmands, sports enthusiasts, philanthropists, and more.

One highlight from the past year was A Taste of SLS at Baha Mar, a decadent dining experience curated by the award-winning personalities behind the property’s restaurants, coupled with an intimate performance by musician John Legend. For 2022, the event is rebranding as The Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival, slated for October 21-23. Another annual favorite is the Baha Mar Cup, a celebrity tennis fundraiser that last year saw Andy Roddick, Victoria Azarenka, and Mark Knowles battle it out in the name of charity while also engaging in matches with attendees and coaching local school children. The next Baha Mar Cup is scheduled for December 9-11, with another all-star lineup set to participate.

Clockwise from top left: Living room, infinity pool, and deck of a six-bedroom oceanside villa; food and drink offerings at chef Marcus Samuelsson’s Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House, plus restaurant interior; Café Boulud dining room.

Without resting on the laurels of its initial success, Baha Mar surfaces as the pinnacle of megaresort chic, giving travelers the luxury of choice. This idyllic island getaway promises endless combinations of escapism, excitement, and indulgences, resulting in a memorable vacation for every personality within today’s travel set.

Mr. Zimmer’s OPUS BMW’S ALL-ELECTRIC IX50 TAKES A HANS-ON APPROACH TO SOUNDING SPEEDY

BY HOWARD WALKER

T

he music of German composer Hans Zimmer is legendary.

Over the last 35 years, he’s penned some of the greatest film scores of all time, from Rain Man and The Lion King, to The Dark Knight and Dune.

Now there’s one more musical arrangement he can add to his repertoire: BMW’s all-new, all-electric iX SUV. Yep, every synthesized whirr, whee, whoop, and whizz is courtesy of Mr. Z. The BMW Group Sound Design department teamed up with the Academy Award winner to create a few special sound effects for the iX—because you wouldn’t want an electric car to be totally silent, right? When you dial up Sport mode and hit the gas, the fizzing electric motors are accompanied by a soaring crescendo that’s part Dyson Airblade, part Tron. Had it been up to me, I might have gone for a Jack Sparrow “arrr” from Pirates of the Caribbean (Zimmer composed the scores for those movies, too).

Sounds aside, this iX xDrive50 is an awesome addition to BMW’s growing fleet of all-electric newcomers. About the size of the popular X5 sport-ute, the iX distinguishes itself with its jaw-descending, head-

58

rotating, what-the-heck-were-they-thinking design.

To call it bold is like saying Adele can carry a tune. However, it’s far from cute, with a multitude of lumps, bumps, and creases, as well as humongous kidneys on the nose and a full-diaper look at the rear end.

That being said, when it comes to electric vehicles, looking different is key. You’re driving the future, so why not make the vehicle look like it’s from the future? The iX is nothing less than Ziggy Stardust on wheels.

Two versions of this iX are on offer. The xDrive50 kicks off at $83,200, packs a 516-horsepower punch, and can run for up to 324 miles on a charge. Its crazy-fast brother is the iX M60, with a maximum hp of 610, 811 lb-ft of torque, 280 miles of range, and a $108,900-andup sticker. Let’s save the electric M60 Frankenbeemer for another day and revel in the equally eye-watering performance of the xDrive50.

For those who have yet to experience the tingling delights of electric power, you’re in for a treat. The way this iX 50 catapults off the line, slingshots past dawdling traffic, and acts like a four-wheeled extra from Top Gun: Maverick is breathtaking. Zero to 60 in 4.4 seconds?

That’ll do nicely.

Yes, the ride can get a little firm and fidgety. And while the frameless door windows look cool, they create a bit more wind noise than you might expect from a luxury SUV. But piloting this thing is a delight.

VIKING SPIRIT

SWEDEN’S J CRAFT TORPEDO COMBINES ITALIAN STYLE WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY

BY HOWARD WALKER

G

aze longingly at the gorgeous lines of this Swedish-built J Craft Torpedo cruiser, with its mirror-varnished mahogany and 1960s elegance, and the phrase “fit for a king” might come to mind.

Actually, it is fit for a king. Back in 1999, His Royal Highness Carl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden, took delivery of the very first J Craft. He still owns it today and reportedly spends summer vacations cruising around the Mediterranean.

Unashamedly inspired by that long-out-of-production icon of the ’60s, the Italian Riva Aquarama, the J Craft Torpedo is 42 feet of handcrafted style and sophistication, guaranteed to spin heads from the coast of Maine to the Côte d’Azur. And we’re actually on the Côte to try this modern classic in a run from Beaulieu-sur-Mer across to glitzy Monaco, courtesy of our friends at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

Rolls has had a long relationship with J Craft, perhaps because the two companies appeal to the same kind of fun-loving billionaires. Not so long ago, they partnered on a proposal for a matching Torpedo and Phantom drophead coupe, both with the same stealthy black paint,

60

creamy-yellow upholstery, and satin-metal detailing. The carmaker even created a stunning picnic box—complete with bespoke flatware—that could go from car to boat. Pass the Grey Poupon, please.

And just like any Rolls-Royce, the J Craft is a labor of love for a passionate, dedicated workforce. It takes a small team of artisans more than 8,000 hours, or a full year, to build each Torpedo at J Craft’s factory on the rugged, windswept Swedish island of Gotland.

Each cruiser is fashioned from sustainably sourced West African mahogany that’s formed by steam bending—in much the same way the Swedish Vikings built their longboats back in the day. But unlike those wooden longboats, the Torpedo uses vacuum-bagged vinylester and fiberglass for its deep-V hull.

See the finished J Craft bobbing gently along the restaurant-filled Beaulieu-sur-Mer waterfront, and it’s nothing less than a piece of art. It’s just beautiful, from that glorious arched rear transom to the pinched stern that flows forward into a wide, curvy bow, not to mention the quartet of porthole-style engine vents at the back.

Step aboard—shoes off, of course—and tread lightly across the

diamond-quilted sun pad, step down into the spacious cockpit, and soak in the detailing. Made by the Italian company Nardi, the leather-rimmed helm is a replica of the one used in Ferrari’s legendary ’60s sports cars.

While the Torpedo may look like an open day boat designed for soaking up the Med sun, there’s actually a very roomy cabin for four beneath that striped teak-and-holly foredeck. It comes with air-conditioning, a head with a shower, and plenty of closet space.

At the twist of a key, the Torpedo’s pair of Volvo Penta turbo diesels, hooked up POWER FILE to IPS 650 pod drives with forward-facing PRICE: FROM $1.5 MILLION props, burst into life. There’s a choice of LENGTH: 41 FEET, 4 INCHES four Volvo engines on offer, but our blueBEAM: 11 FEET, 9 INCHES hulled Torpedo RS has the most potent DRAFT: 3.12 FEET POWER: 2 X 480-HP VOLVO 480-hp versions, which can punch it to a IPS 650 TOP SPEED: 47 KNOTS top speed of 47 knots.

tant muffled hum from the Volvos under the back deck. At 2,000 rpm, the speedo is showing 20 knots. At just 2,600 rpm, the boat is at its 30-knot cruising speed, where it’ll go for more than 280 nautical miles on a tank.

It slices through the waves like its namesake torpedo. Flick over that lovely helm, and it leans easily and comfortably into a tight turn. At full power, 47 knots feel like nothing.

J Craft is currently focusing on the U.S. market—the Torpedo was one of the stars of this year’s Palm Beach International Boat Show— but order one now and you’ll still wait more than a year. Maybe offering a king’s ransom, or having a word with King Gustaf himself, might get you higher up on the list. «

Kristina Hambrock epitomizes The Greene School’s mission of nurturing children by addressing their mental and emotional health along with academics. “It’s about empathy in the classroom and feeling safe, heard, and respected,” says Hambrock, who teaches fourth grade at the West Palm Beach private school.

Now in her tenth year of teaching, Hambrock notes that she is more passionate than ever— despite the sometimes overwhelming problems facing both teachers and students. To that end, The Greene School is participating in a pilot study to address how stress affects student achievement. Created by a former high school teacher, WellCheq is a check-in app where students can share how they’re feeling each day, and teachers can use that information to connect with them and hopefully address stressors. The timing couldn’t be better, Hambrock says. “This year especially, we’re having conversations about the pandemic, gun violence, and racism—topics that I wouldn’t think 9- and 10-year-olds are prepared to discuss—and they have very strong opinions.”

At the social justice–oriented children’s bookstore, Kumar Skomra creates a safe space for marginalized communities and racial and ethnic minorities, while also educating others to the plights these groups face.

“I experienced oppression and racism growing up while trying to honor my heritage,” she says. “It felt like we were fighting for the American dream while being kept out of it.”

A mother of two, Kumar Skomra pursued a childhood dream of becoming a pediatrician before realizing her true calling and pivoting toward education. Kumar Skomra taught pre-K through fourth grade at charter schools in New York City—where she also coached teachers and wrote curricula—and helped found Seattle’s first elementary charter school serving immigrant and refugee populations.

In 2021, she opened her lively 1,000-square-foot bookstore, where kids of all ages can explore titles that promote literacy, diversity, and inclusion. Named for her grandmother, Rohi’s Readery is also a hub of community activity, where families can gather for free programming in honor of Disability Pride Month, Black History Month, and more. “It’s all about being seen and loved,” adds Kumar Skomra.

Bringing history to life is at the heart of Kate Sheridan’s success as an educator—and why her eleventh-grade advanced placement (AP) students at the Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach have the highest pass rates in the district.

“I love our nation and its rich, diverse culture,” says the New York native who began teaching at Dreyfoos in 2016. “Every day we’re watching history happen—from changes with respect to gun rights and voting practices to Roe v. Wade.

By knowing history, you can understand current events in a more informed light.”

Within her classroom, Sheridan aims to create an inclusive forum conducive to spirited conversations, even on sensitive topics. “Discussions are most effective when it’s not about picking sides,” she says. “My passion for our country is infectious; [it’s] why I’ve earned the trust and attention of my students.”

Described by peers as a natural-born educator, Megan Jones prioritizes connecting with her third-grade students above all else—meeting them on their level as budding learners and helping them navigate their evolving world. “Recognizing that their emotional landscape is growing along with their intellect and learning ability is key,” says the Florida native who began teaching at J.C. Mitchell Elementary School in Boca Raton five years ago.

“To be entrusted with these sweet, loving little human beings is such a gift—and a responsibility,” she continues. “I feel so lucky to have this opportunity seven hours a day to help nurture and equip my kids both intellectually and emotionally.”

Jones begins each school day with a brief social emotional learning (SEL) morning meeting, which the School District of Palm Beach County developed to help students tap into and express their feelings. She might, for example, create a heart shape with her hands when greeting her class and then lead them in an exercise where they portray an animal using movement but no sound. Activities such as these convey social awareness and encourage students to consider others’ perspectives. “Now more than ever it’s vital that kids have safe adults and outlets to talk about their feelings, which is integral to their learning,” she adds.

For Wes Lowe, overseeing the instrumental arts program at The King’s Academy in West Palm Beach is second nature. Not only is the school his alma mater, but it is his mother’s and siblings’ as well. “Our family appreciates the culture of excellence here,” says Lowe.

The Grammy-nominated educator introduces students from fourth grade through high school to the world of music. “Seeing a child’s eyes light up when they play their first note gives me tremendous satisfaction,” says Lowe, who teaches more than 12 instruments—from keyboard, strings, and woodwinds to brass, percussion, and vocals. Each one fosters developmental skills for early learners and contributes to a symphony of mental and emotional growth as children age.

“Music is like gym class for the brain,” Lowe notes. “It’s surprising to see what happens when you place a musical instrument in a student’s hands and [they] produce something larger than themselves. By the time they’re seniors they realize they’ve learned more than just music.”

Adina Kerr’s passion as an educator goes beyond the colorfully decorated Boynton Beach classroom where she teaches music fundamentals to 5- through 11-year-olds. “Elementary school is a magical time in a child’s life,” Kerr says. “By teaching them music basics they have the building blocks to learn anything.”

Kerr, who was raised in New Jersey and moved to Florida in 2005, is known for her ability to connect with at-risk students. “Seeing a child open up is one of my greatest joys because I know where that beginning can lead,” she says.

Kerr also devotes countless hours of personal time to creating after-school programs and opportunities. She recently secured a grant from the city of Boynton Beach for a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) exploration lab featuring everything from state-of-the-art computers and art supplies to a piano lab. “When you provide a nurturing environment that can highlight a child’s interests and talents you make them feel valued and successful,” she concludes. «

Randy D. Blakely, PhD, executive director of the FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute

e’ve sent a man to the moon and explored the far reaches of our solar system, but we’ve yet to truly make sense of the complex galaxy between our ears. With its hundred-billion nerve cells and trillions of synapses, the brain powers our body and provides us with a sense of self. However, it rarely reveals secrets as to how it becomes diseased and disordered. Researchers at Florida Atlantic University’s Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute in Jupiter are primed to change that this fall, when they move into a state-of-the-art facility that will further empower them to conduct life-changing investigations into everything from Alzheimer’s to autism.

“Every family, including ours, has had issues with mental illness and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s,” says David J. S. Nicholson, who donated $9.22 million to FAU for the neuroscience building’s construction. “One in six families is affected by neurodegenerative diseases, either directly or indirectly. It’s a devastating situation,

and I hope that the StilesNicholson Brain Institute will drive critical research in this area, while stimulating interest among young people to pursue this as a career.”

In 2015, FAU identified four academic research investment areas within its strategic plan, neuroscience being one of them. The university recruited Randy D. Blakely, PhD, to lead the Brain Institute, with the ultimate goal of stimulating neuroscience research, education, and discovery for the benefit of society, all while enhancing the public’s understanding of brain research and its impact on the community. Prior to the opening of the new Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute building, neuroscience researchers at the FAU Jupiter campus were packed into two small research buildings, with a lack of research space available to advancing neuroscience and education to the

next level.

Blakely says he knew about FAU’s aspirations and was excited to play a role in developing that vision, especially with the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience and the Department of Neuroscience at UF Scripps nearby. As far as he was concerned, South Florida was fertile ground for what was to come.

“There’s an aging demographic here, so there’s a lot of interest in aging well or Alzheimer’s,” Blakely notes. “There has also been an issue with opioids, so there’s an awareness of the need to understand the impact of substance use and abuse on the brain.

There’s also more activism here in terms of helping people with mental illness or brain PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2022

disorders. In that sense, the ground was tilled a bit for me already.”

The trick was planting the seeds. The groundbreaking work Blakely and FAU hoped to do in a new building was not going to happen without financial support. On top of Nicholson’s donation, the Florida legislature committed $35 million to the construction of the Brain Institute’s three-story headquarters, which includes more than 4,000 square feet of open lab space, an interactive auditorium, and dedicated centers for autism research, resiliency studies, cellular neuroimaging, brain disease modeling, and neurobehavioral analysis. Nicholson also funded a namesake neuroscience professorship, held by Blakely, and a Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research that will focus on better understanding and treating Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

“It’s going to be transformative,” Blakely says of the 58,000-squarefoot building. “It will give us the ability to recruit and house faculty from diverse disciplines, encouraging collaborations that would not otherwise happen.”

Without question, neuroscience is a great fusion of research disciplines.

Among other things, it requires an understanding of how molecules work on targets in the brain, how brain circuits develop and communicate with each other, and how behavior emerges from matter. Every perspective one can possibly get on brain function or dysfunction is meaningful because everything from a fever to a car accident to a bad day at work can impact the organ in some way.

Having an immune specialist working under the same roof as someone focused on mood research, for example, can lead to new discoveries into why we feel sad when we’re sick.

In a sense, these linkages between research specialties are akin to creating a new neural pathway in the brain. And if you envision the Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute as the brain itself, these connections will only create a powerful environment for learning more about this 3-pound puzzle.

Researcher Henriette van Praag, PhD, is among those investigating the brain’s countless facets at FAU. She has devoted much of her career to studying the positive impacts of exercise on its health. Prior to the new center’s construction, van Praag says she would have to move mice between buildings for different aspects of her research, which added extra variables. The new institute will enable her to have everything her “scientific life depends on” under one roof.

“I feel so supported here and have wonderful colleagues like Dr. Blakely, who has provided startup funds for my research,” van Praag says. “With the infrastructure, facilities, and equipment, this is a pleasant and productive place for me to work.”

Ning Quan, PhD, believes the new building will make it easier for him to collaborate with researchers such as van Praag to determine how inflammatory diseases impact neurogenesis. These partnerships yield richer discoveries, he notes, because they deepen the understanding of how this complex organ functions.

“We are doing [this research] in the context of a major university and, at the same time, educating young people who are being advised by leading scientists,” Blakely adds.

After working at a traumatic brain injury clinic, Claudia Koroma was inspired to pursue a PhD in neuroscience and enrolled at FAU because of its interdisciplinary approach. She currently works in van Praag’s lab, looking at potential methods to reverse memory loss in Alzheimer’s patients.

“The last year has been wonderful,” Koroma says. “I have been able to meet a lot of my professors, who are readily available.

Being able to make those connections and get this lab experience has been beneficial to me because I’ve been able to practice different techniques and learn different ways to execute research.”

Blakely says that since his arrival at FAU, he has seen a surge of undergraduate STEM (science, technology, engineering, and

math) students seeking help with honors projects. Back then, there wasn’t enough faculty to help students with their research questions. Now, he hopes that a formal research building will allow him to recruit more scientists who can guide and inspire young minds.

“We’re hiring the double and triple threats,” he says. “We’re looking for scientists who love students and love to educate them but have world-class talent as researchers and also want to be a part of the community.”

Middle and high school students are a part of this vision. The Stiles-Nicholson STEM Teacher Academy will provide top STEM training to educators, starting initially with those in Palm Beach County, with the goal to expand. “We do some things on our own

to push science down to middle schoolers,” Blakely notes. “But this program will help us train teachers throughout the year and give them exposure to us.” In addition, the ASCEND (Advancing STEM Community Engagement through Neuroscience Discovery) Program, also funded by Nicholson’s generous gift, seeks to increase access to and interest in STEM fields for the next generation of scientists.

Technology, of course, will aid these explorations. For example, the Center for Cellular Neuroimaging will house state-ofthe-art Nikon imaging equipment that will empower researchers to take deep, dynamic images of the brain. The Brain Institute has been a Nikon Center of Excellence since its inception in 2016, and this partnership has enabled researchers to track stress and inflammation effects throughout the brain,

examine the effects of genetic mutations that lead to Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease, and study brain cells that multiply throughout life as a result of exercise. It’s research that could potentially help pharmaceutical manufacturers design drugs that can prohibit, or at least slow down, progressions of certain brain diseases.

Van Praag says researchers are eager to be a part of the broader community’s discussions about brain health, as well as a key player in pioneering solutions. After all, understanding depression, addiction, aging disorders, and stress requires open communication with psychologists, social workers, educators, and engineers who understand the link between brain function and social interactions.

“Technology is important, but it’s still necessary to bring problem solvers together,” Blakely says. And while the sky is the limit, he

adds that lofty goals require financial support.

“We’re taking a moonshot attitude right now when it comes to supporting our scientists,” he says. “The kind of high-risk, high-reward activities we seek to do will require corporate and government support because the expense is significant. And we can’t say that advances in treating things like drug abuse or autism have a rank, because all of them are important.”

Nicholson believes his namesake institute, combined with Max Planck and Scripps, has the potential to make a real global impact in neuroscience research.

“We’ve got a unique neuroscience hub in Jupiter right now,” he says. “I’m looking forward to seeing the great discoveries and research that emerge from it. We’ve seen and felt space, but now it’s time to learn more about the 6-inch space between our ears.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2022

ooper Weisman’s goal is to be the CEO of a startup company. The senior at Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts has a vision and an action plan, but unlike many starry-eyed 17-year-olds with a dream, he expects to encounter a fair number of obstacles on his path to success.

Fifteen years from now, Weisman believes his biography will read, in part, that he “has failed 90 times but succeeded 10 times, spectacularly never letting anyone or himself get in the way of his vision.”

Weisman credits his reality check and unwavering sense of direction to the

Solomon Leadership Program, an intense, 10-week curriculum at Palm Beach Synagogue that teaches teens the essential qualities to make them effective future leaders.

Weisman completed the course in April.

“This is not a business course,” says Lawrence Sosnow, the Palm Beach philanthropist and health care entrepreneur who developed the program. “This is about how to teach young people to be good leaders. They learn how to motivate people and how to make good decisions.”

To that end, he based the curriculum on eight elements, or pillars, of good leadership: character, tolerance, communication, PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2022

vision, empowerment, persistence, strategy, and judgment.

“High school students don’t get leadership training in school,” Sosnow notes. “They have no idea what vision is or how to study persistence, for example.”

Armed with the seed of an idea based on his own experience of being mentored by an uncle, Sosnow approached Moshe Scheiner, founding rabbi of Palm Beach Synagogue, in 90

2015. Together, the two recruited mentors and speakers from the community’s considerable talent pool. “Palm Beach has leaders with decades of experience,” says Scheiner.

“Why not take advantage of their wisdom?”

Working with Solomon’s executive director, Sarah Dworcan; educational director, Miriam Taylor; and Art Johnson, a professor of leadership and organizational development at Palm Beach Atlantic University, they went on to develop a curriculum and gain accreditation for three college credits.

The first group of students, called fellows, graduated in 2016. Other communities took note of the success, and since then, three more chapters have formed in Florida—in Bal Harbour, Aventura, and Parkland—and one in Montreal. By the end of 2023, the organization expects to open approximately 10 more chapters around the country and has received inquiries from as far away as South Africa and England.

The program is now under a parent company called the Solomon Institute, which

oversees the chapters. Currently, Sosnow funds it all through his foundation, but the goal is to be an independent charitable organization so they can raise outside money. Eventually, Sosnow would like to move into a chairman emeritus role and assemble a board of directors.

The name Solomon comes from the biblical king known for his wisdom and is reflected in the logo, which includes the tagline “Ancient wisdom. Modern Leadership.”

From the beginning, Sosnow stipulated that the leadership program be secular, but administered through a faith-based organization of any denomination. He and Scheiner have met with other religious organizations interested in forming chapters. The faith aspect is important, he believes, because religious organizations have the power and motivation to improve the community and recruit mentors and speakers, as well as the facilities to house the sessions. He wants to see faith take a larger role in shaping society.

“Congregations need to serve the community, not just congregants,” he says.

After preparing by completing related assignments, fellows attend sessions with their mentors. Each session begins with a speaker who talks about that week’s pillar. Following a Q&A, mentors work with fellows from a curriculum that illustrates each pillar with stories that “could range from an article in The Wall Street Journal to something from the Bible,” says Sosnow. There are stated objectives the students must meet, as well as regular testing. Fellows are encouraged to think for themselves, with mentors guiding them in a Socratic method, he adds.

This past year, the program had six mentors and nine speakers (one speaker for each pillar, with two speakers sharing one of the pillars) in the Palm Beach chapter. For example, the Honorable Judge Lisa Small of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court in Florida served as a mentor, while Timothy S. Sotos, chair of Palm Beach Atlantic University’s board of trustees, spoke on the pillar of communication.

session. He also encouraged us to wake up an hour earlier each day. I use that extra hour to get my mind organized for the day.”

Speaker Paul Leone, president of The Breakers Palm Beach, selected persistence as his topic because he says it’s the one that most resonated on his own path to success.

“After I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in accounting, I got a job with Coopers & Lybrand, one of the Big 8 accounting firms. I was one of 10 new college recruits; the other nine were straight-A students, and I had a B average in my major and my overall GPA was 2.6. They were way ahead of me, and I had to work double-time to keep up and be recognized.”

TOM TRACY PHOTOGRAPHY

The 2022 class graduated 20 fellows this past April. Fellows apply online and, if accepted, don’t pay tuition. While being an A student is not required, says Scheiner, students must exhibit leadership skills and some community involvement to be considered.

Weisman, for example, is founder and president of the aerospace and rocketry club at Dreyfoos and co-president of the Dreyfoos chapter of Empowering Youth Action, a tutoring program.

“The beauty of this program is that it’s available to those who want it, but they really have to invest themselves in it,” says mentor Sally Ann Nisberg, a local child and family advocate and founder of the nonprofit breast cancer advocacy organization LiveLikeCrazy.

She’s been a mentor since the program’s inception and has worked with more than two dozen students, most of whom she maintains a relationship with.

“These fellows are already on the way to becoming leaders when they enter the program,” Nisberg says. “They are so hungry for knowledge. When every one of them graduates, the energy level is amazing.”

Nisberg also discovered an unexpected benefit from the program in the relationships she has established with other mentors and speakers. “I had the pleasure of becoming friends with people I would never have met, and it’s enriched my life. I’m in awe of the other mentors and speakers; we have people in health care, law, finance, and business. There’s just something magic about this program.”

Weisman says one of his biggest takeaways from his mentor, Michael Greenwald, who serves as global lead, digital assets at Amazon Web Services, was to persist in realizing his vision no matter what obstacles he might encounter along the way. “If I could sum it up in one sentence, it’s ‘don’t limit yourself,’” he adds. “Mr. Greenwald used to say that at each

TOM TRACY PHOTOGRAPHY

In the end, Leone believes, his parents’ divorce when he was 12 and the struggles he had moving from New York to Kentucky while in high school taught him more than he could have imagined. “Adversity is a good thing, and young people shouldn’t shy away from it,” he says. “It’s how we grow. I wanted to give up many times, but one of the things that really drove me was the thought of failure at something that mattered to me. I made the vow that I would never quit.”

Like everyone involved in the program, Leone enthuses about the results and believes it could be used in wider applications—in the corporate world, for example.

“When I first saw the curriculum, I thought it was the best training program I’d ever seen and it would be great for my own management team,” he says. “I’ve seen a lot of programs, but this one really resonated with me.”

Scheiner says that one of the keys to the program’s success is that it links generations of future and current leaders. “Seeing our teens leave the programs and their level of leadership skills growing after coming out of the program is so rewarding,” he says. “I think everyone is inspired by their enthusiasm and respect. We see how bright the future really is.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2022

f money is no object, what becomes your objective for that money? Perhaps you take the Elon Musk route and conquer space travel. Or you follow Mark Cuban’s lead and offer prescription drugs at significantly reduced prices. Maybe you tackle world hunger, make efforts to reduce crime, or attempt to remove “incurable” from a disease.

For some ultra-wealthy Americans, that objective is education. In recent years, two schools backed by local billionaires have opened in West Palm Beach: Jeff Greene’s The Greene School and Bill Koch’s Oxbridge Academy. Their work, trying to solve the problems facing education today, is not far off from what other billionaires are doing elsewhere in the country.

Among them is Microsoft founder Bill Gates, whose Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has a

stated educational objective to “significantly increase the number of Black and Latino students and students experiencing poverty who graduate from high school, enroll in a postsecondary institution, and are on track in their first year to obtain a credential with labor-market value,” per the foundation’s website. It pursues this by investing in K-12 education grantees across the country—with a focus on schools and addressing seven specific priorities, including networks for school improvement, educator preparation, and social and emotional learning. Similarly, the foundation started by Eli and Edythe Broad provides grants to support public education systems and improve parent engagement, among other goals.

Education—and his access to it—transformed Fred C. Koch’s life. Born in smalltown Texas in 1900, Fred lacked the financial resources to attend the types of schools that

would foster his intellectual curiosity. He had his sights set on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a local businessman helped send him there. Fred would go on to become a high-tech builder of sophisticated oil refineries, an endeavor that would evolve into Koch Industries, which Forbes currently lists as the No. 2 largest private company in America.

“He was so grateful,” William “Bill” I. Koch says of his father. “He then told all of his kids that the best thing you could do is get a good education and then you could create your own pathway yourself. He insisted that all of his boys do that. Three of us went to MIT, and one went to Harvard—the poor guy.”

But long before Bill Koch would attend his father’s alma mater, he was looking to his example of how hard work, perseverance, and real-world experiences could shape one’s future.

“He was a kid—very poor—and then he

became extremely successful,” he says. “He instilled in us that if we wanted to be accomplished in life, that’s what we had to do. At one time, he was the biggest rancher in the United States. He had a ranch in Texas, one in Kansas, one in Wyoming, one in Montana, and one in Nevada. He sent us there during the summer— he didn’t want us playing around—and we had to work 10 hours a day, seven days a week, and we got paid $5 a day. We were exposed to all these other people [and] what life was about.”

When Koch wasn’t spending summers on the ranch, he was attending boarding school.

When the time came for Koch—a Palm Beacher and the founder and CEO of Oxbow Carbon—to consider where to educate his own children, he knew he wanted to keep them nearby. He sought to create a school that could offer superior academics and enrichment opportunities here in Palm Beach County, enabling students to have life-defining educational experiences close to home.

To date, Koch has invested $150 million into Oxbridge Academy. Occupying a 54-acre campus, Oxbridge opened in 2011 and began with ninth through twelfth grades. Ten years later, in January 2021, it announced that it would add seventh and eighth grades. Currently, the school’s enrollment is 560, with a student-teacher ratio of nine to one and an average class size of 13. Five out of Koch’s six children have attended Oxbridge, and another notable student is Barron Trump, the teenaged son of former President Donald Trump.

Across both the middle and upper schools, Oxbridge spends more than $5 million annually to provide need-based financial aid to approximately 40 percent of its students. Diversity, equity, and inclusion have also become key PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2022

aspects of the school’s mission to prepare students to enter the world with kindness and fortitude.

“While we have several faculty members responsible for DEI initiatives and serving as a confidential advisor to students with DEI-related concerns, the core concepts have been part of our ‘culture of kindness’ since the school’s founding,” says Head of School Ralph Maurer. “We value acceptance, understanding, mutual respect, and personal accountability and responsibility.”

As Koch notes, diversity and a robust financial aid program were part of his original vision for the school. “You need to understand that there are different ways to do things in the world,” he says.

“And other people with other backgrounds know how to do that, can do that, they show you how to do that. In spite of what some people think, if you have a guy [with] a different attitude or a different perception on a problem, he may be right.”

Per Koch, “life-defining educational experiences” are also at the heart of Oxbridge Academy.

These opportunities range from a well-rounded athletics program (with niche offerings such as equestrian and sailing available alongside soccer, basketball, and baseball) to arts education and an array of clubs, teams, and activities. Oxbridge also boasts signature programs in artificial intelligence, independent research, and aviation; the latter employs the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association curriculum and allows students to practice in a Redbird MCX Flight Simulator. In addition, there is the Cambridge Scholars program, where juniors can travel to England for two weeks to study under faculty at Cambridge University, and the Free Enterprise Institute, which is new for the 2022-23

school year and is geared toward students passionate about economics, financial markets, and entrepreneurship.

“These programs represent our vision as an educational institution, creating a curriculum that gives students a solid foundation of knowledge and adapts to a constantly changing world,” says Maurer. “They provide real-world opportunities and open new pathways for students. For example, the aviation program does more than train pilots.

It combines math, science, engineering, geography, government, and economics into a multidisciplinary program. Students have gone on to university pursuing aeronautical and aerospace engineering, among other fields related to aviation.”

Like Koch, billionaire businessman Jeff Greene links his interest in funding education to his father. Growing up in a Jewish family in Worcester, Massachusetts, Greene says his father would often emphasize the importance of education—a lesson rooted in the trials of his ancestors who survived the Holocaust. “He would say, ‘No matter what happens, they can never take that away from you,’” Greene recalls.

“They can never take away your education.”

The Greene School’s planned expansion includes an atrium (inset) and a learning garden (above).

Greene’s father worked as a machinery dealer to textile mills, and when that industry largely shifted from New England to the South, his business collapsed. Greene found himself going off to college with no financial support. He worked two jobs while at Johns Hopkins University, before going on to Harvard for an MBA. After creating a real estate empire built in part on credit default swaps during the last housing crash, Greene moved to Palm Beach in 2009. He says he was surprised by the education options in the area and, eventually, he and his wife, Mei Sze Greene, decided to create a private school that could rival the best schools in the country, particularly in the areas of academic prestige, opportunities, culture, and personalization. The Greene School opened in 2016, and currently, all three of the Greenes’ children are enrolled there.

The Greene School started as pre-K through fourth grade; grades 5 through 8 were added thereafter. The school began working toward additional expansion in May 2021, when Greene purchased the adjacent EmKo art and restaurant building. This fall, the school is welcoming ninth graders; it will add a new grade level with each subsequent year.

To lead the school, the Greenes hired Denise Spirou, who has a doctorate of education from Walden University and had previously run The Weiss School in Palm Beach Gardens.

(This school, which Elizabeth and Martin Weiss established in 1989 to educate gifted children, is another example of philanthropic individuals using their resources to better the local education landscape.) At The Greene School, Spirou says that she had the chance to start anew, to define a school from day one.

“As an educator, I felt like I hit the jackpot,”

she adds. “What an amazing opportunity to start a school from the ground up using my 30 years in education, knowing what went well and what didn’t go well, and then hire a team of dream educators. It’s something I couldn’t say no to.”

The Greene School maintains a studentteacher ratio of eight to one. Prior to acceptance, potential students are required to take the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children aptitude test and visit the school for at least a day to ensure that the academic environment is a good fit. “We serve bright, careful learners— kids who really love to learn and are creative and think in different ways,” Spirou says. She also notes that faculty members spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve students’ neuroplasticity, or the brain’s ability to form and reorganize synaptic connections.

For the 2022-23 school year, 175 students are enrolled at The Greene School. They are privy to a multitude of “enrichment classes” including engineering, computer science, art, drama, yoga, Mandarin, and Spanish. The school day doesn’t end at 3:15; most kids stay on campus for activities like robotics, tennis, chess, and aviation. When it comes to financial assistance, The Greene School offers need-based scholarships (with merit scholarships available to high schoolers), giving out millions each year.

While the school’s big budget no doubt has helped it succeed, Greene believes it has to be more than that. “Look, money helps no matter what you’re doing,” he says. “But at the end of the day, it’s not just the money. The money can grease the wheels. Success comes from passion and caring and not just the money.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2022

BOLD FLAVORS, COOL COCKTAILS, AND LOCAL FAVORITES

OPENINGS

A new modern Asian restaurant concept is taking flight in Jupiter. Blackbird is the latest venture from Scott Frielich, Angelo Abbenante, and Cleve Mash, the longtime friends behind PapiChulo Tacos. Tim Nickey—who previously worked at David Grutman’s Komodo and Jeffrey Chodorow’s China Grill in Miami—serves as executive chef, whipping up elevated dim sum and Chinese American favorites. One such example are the char siu pork spareribs, which were inspired by dishes Frielich and Abbenante ate at local Chinese restaurants growing up.

“Angelo and I loved those oldschool spareribs that were tough and bright red,” Frielich says. “The other guys [Mash and Nickey] wanted them to fall off the bone, but Tim was able to smoke them in such a way that they ended up perfectly in between.”

The restaurant’s interior is as vibrant as the cuisine. West Palm Beach–based designer Kat Solomon transformed the two-story, 5,500-square-foot space, which is decked out with flocks of paper birds and murals by South Florida artist Amanda Valdes. With entertainment including live DJs on Friday and Saturday evenings, Blackbird is destined to live up to its rock-and-roll-inspired name. (blackbirdmodernasian.com) –Mary Murray

A new spot to sample in The Square is The Salty Donut, where savory pastries are the vehicle for bringing people together with a positive impact. Amanda Pizarro and Andy Rodriguez launched the concept in 2014, operating out of a vintage 1950s Aljoa camper in a parking lot in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. They followed up the food truck with a brick-and-mortar store in Miami. Today, The Salty also has locations in Orlando, Austin, Dallas, and Charlotte.

Two new items have been developed for West Palm Beach: caramel apple and double chocolate cookie, both on a base of 24-hour brioche. These join standard offerings such as peaches and cream, Oreo cake doughnut holes, gluten-free chocolate chip and sea salt, and a vegan cinnamon roll. Coffee is an event at The Salty Donut. In addition to espresso, cappuccino, and lattes, patrons can leave with growlers of cold brew or a 96-ounce traveler of The Salty’s proprietary batch brew. Above all, The Salty aims to source local ingredients, contribute to community causes, and promote initiatives to foster a healthier environment. (saltydonut.com) —Mark Spivak

With locations in Delray Beach and Fort Lauderdale, El Camino and its addictive Mexican soul food have already garnered a loyal local following.

Its ample tequila, mezcal, and margarita offerings don’t hurt either. This summer, El Camino opened its long-awaited West Palm Beach location, bringing its beloved daily happy hour, feel-good vibes, and made-fromscratch tortillas, sauces, and more to the heart of The Square.

South Florida–based Modern Restaurant Group tasked Manhas Design with outfitting the 8,500-square-foot space and artist Ruben Ubiera with creating murals to match. Guests can relax in the lime green booths, a passion fruit margarita in one hand and a brisket quesadilla, pork tamale, or crispy fish taco in the other. El Camino WPB is also the eatery’s first outpost to serve weekend brunch, inclusive of such drink specials as $15 bottomless mimosas, rosé, Bloody Marias, and El Camino Haze IPA. Return for the happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m. (when tacos are $3 and margaritas are $5), or the late-night happy hour from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Thursday or midnight to 2 a.m.

PAIRINGS

Worth BARKING ABOUT

The Dish: Grilled octopus. A garlicky yuzu chimichurri and the bright pop of seared cherry tomatoes are the perfect complements to this entrée of sliced octopus that’s tender, delicious, and supremely shareable.

The Drink: Boulevardier. A contemporary twist on a Negroni, this gin-less version features bourbon, sweet vermouth, Campari, Angostura bitters, and a flaming orange peel.

The Dish: Gooey butter cake. Simple but not-to-be-missed, this delectable Amishinspired confection is topped with a sticky bourbon glaze and a house-made vanilla ice cream.

The Drink: Nitrous oxide espresso martini.

The classic, made with Borghetti liqueur, Wheatley vodka, and a drop of Bailey’s.

«

« «

«

The Dish: Hamachi pizzette. Impossibly thin and tasty Pacific yellowtail is placed atop a ponzu aioli-covered crust and dressed with micro shiso greens for the perfect starter course.

The Drink: Promise of Paradise cocktail.

A fresh start with vodka, lychee lemongrass cordial, sake, lemon juice, and Prosecco.

The new Blue Dog Cookhouse & Bar outpost in the Town Center at Boca Raton gives mall dining a new leash on life. Fuel up before hitting the shops or refuel after a day of fashion hunting—either way, don’t miss this chef-driven menu (lead by executive chef Chris Barre) and innovative bar program (directed by veteran mixologist Nesha Korak). Brunch is a perennial favorite at Blue Dog, but here we highlight three pairings that are worth the evening taste bud trip. (bluedogboca.com) –Kristen Desmond LeFevre

RICE IS A STAPLE CROP AROUND THE WORLD AND SERVES AS A NEUTRAL CANVAS FOR THE COOKING HERITAGE OF DIFFERENT CULTURES. CELEBRATE NATIONAL RICE MONTH WITH AUTHENTIC ETHNIC RICE DISHES FROM ACROSS PALM BEACH COUNTY. Arroz Moro, Havana Restaurant, West Palm Beach Black beans and rice are essential to Cuban cuisine, and in this dish, both ingredients cook together slowly.

Havana’s version adds garlic, which permeates the aroma and flavor. It’s served with maduros, or sweet plantains, and is a perfect accompaniment to skirt steak, pork, chicken, or fish. (havanacubanfood.com)

Bibimbap, Hachi Asian Cuisine and Grill, Lake Worth One of the most popular Korean dishes, bibimbap consists of a bowl of rice topped with seasoned vegetables, kimchi, soy sauce, and condiments, as well as meat and a raw or fried egg. At Hachi, diners may enjoy either the classic version or dolsot bibimbap (served in a hot stone pot), both topped with beef. (hachibynawa.com)

Braised Oxtail with Rice and Beans, FiWe Caribbean Cuisine, West Palm Beach “Rice was originally slave food,” says owner Sharon Bedasee. “The slaves brought it with them from Africa. Oxtail is extremely popular not just in Jamaica, but also in Spain and other places around the world.” The rice and red kidney beans are simmered in coconut milk, garlic, fresh thyme, and spices because, as Bedasee adds, “Jamaicans can’t cook anything plain.” (fiweja.com)

Biryani, Zeera Indian Cuisine, North Palm Beach “Biryani is a slow-cooked rice dish that is very popular throughout the Indian subcontinent,” says owner Suman Subedi, a native of Nepal. “We offer seven versions, but chicken and goat are the most popular. The dish has a moderate level of heat, enhanced by spices such as rosewater and saffron.” (zeerapga.com) —M.S.

GYORGY PAPP

This month, as the sun crosses the celestial equator heading south, we welcome the autumnal equinox. While it might be too early to snuggle up by roaring bonfires, there’s no reason why we can’t celebrate the flavors of the season. Apples, in particular, have long been a symbol of the fall harvest, and drinking apple cider (the unpasteurized, unfiltered juice made from apple mash) is a festive way to reap the fruit’s health benefits.

Usher in fall with this recipe for a crisp apple cider margarita. –Jules Aron

FROM CIT Y TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

DESIGN

Something Old, SOMETHING NEW When New York designer Scott Sanders of Scott Sanders Interior Design and his husband were searching for a seasonal home after opening a design studio in Palm Beach, he found this mid-century apartment that had not been touched since the original owner bought it in the 1970s. With the postmodern-style complex designated as a historic landmark, Sanders was eager to preserve the integrity and character of the original design while connecting the interiors with the stark-white architecture of the oceanfront facade.

“The untouched interiors ended up containing countless antiques

and vintage pieces that wanted to be brought back to life,” he says.

“These existing covet-worthy pieces allowed me to merge the past with contemporary to create a design with significant depth and history.”

By mixing in new pieces sourced on West Palm Beach’s Antique Row, adding pops of color and art, and playing off of the original cypress walls and Mexican tile floor, Sanders created a “Palm Beach eclectic” vibe that evokes a playful, happy atmosphere and stimulates conversation.

“We did not want a cookie-cutter design,” Sanders adds. “Instead, we made it personal and suitable to our life in Palm Beach, which consists of frequent entertaining by the beach and pool. It is filled with unusual pieces that we have acquired over time, as well as dachshund memorabilia, as our mini dachshund, Bailey, is the unofficial building mascot. It is our version of Palm Beach camp.” (scottsandersllc.com) –Liza Grant Smith PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2022

Palm Beach UNBUILT

THE STORIES BEHIND THREE UNREALIZED ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS

BY MARIE PENNY

COURTESY OF THE PRESERVATION FOUNDATION OF PALM BEACH

1. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT: FLORIDA COTTAGE, PALM BEACH, 1912 Considered the “greatest American architect of all time,” Frank Lloyd Wright needs no introduction. His largest contribution to the state is the Florida Southern College campus in Lakeland. However, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives holds a drawing of an unbuilt cottage in Palm Beach. Who was the client? Was it on the lake or the ocean? There are so many questions that a drawing alone cannot answer. The character-defining

1

traits of the cottage are the flat rooflines and overhanging eaves indicative of the Prairie style, which Wright pioneered and is prevalent in the American Midwest.

2. JOHN VOLK: ROYAL POINCIANA PLAZA RESTAURANT, 1959 Volk conceived of an octagonal restaurant pavilion in the center of The Royal Poinciana Plaza.

This was more than a concept, as there are several detailed drawings in the Volk collection.

It would have included a buffet, a dining room, and a cocktail lounge.

In accordance with the rest of the plaza (also designed by Volk), the intended pavilion was imagined in the Regency COURTESY OF THE PRESERVATION FOUNDATION OF PALM BEACH

In Palm Beach, architecture is more than just the backdrop to our daily walks: It signifies what part of town we are in and teaches us about important moments in design history. The built environment is the product of the many architects who contributed to the Town of Palm Beach, but what about the structures that never made it off the page? Here, we examine conceptual visions from the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach’s archive and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives.

style, which was adapted for Palm Beach and popularized in the late 1950s. The use of classical moldings, columns, and pediments are key aspects of Palm Beach Regency.

3. BELFORD SHOUMATE: PALM BEACH PIER, 1965 After years of sustained damage, the Palm Beach Pier—the only public pier in town—was demolished in 1969. Shoumate designed several studies of the pier when ownership changed hands in the early 1960s. He envisioned a modern pier that would change the fabric of the beachfront—it even included a pool. The balance between the straight lines and strong geometric forms lends a futuristic quality to this modern concept.

NURTURE

SUITED TO A TEA While traditional tea parties are all about white gloves and finger sandwiches, some modern tea moments are health experiences—brewing up benefits on both a physical and mental level.

Building on a childhood spent in the mountainous region of China’s Yunnan province, where tea originated, Jia Li spreads ancient tea culture through her company, Tea Tell Truth.

Based in West Palm Beach, Tea Tell Truth focuses primarily on Puerh (or Pu-erh) tea, which is handpicked from ancient tea trees in Yunnan and then brewed with post-fermented tea leaves. The tea’s health benefits include everything from detoxification, promotion of blood circulation, and weight management to nervous system protection and improved bone health. Li also offers classes in what she calls “Tea Mindfulness,” an active meditation process that invites individuals to cultivate tranquil, “let-go” moments where they step into the present and release anxieties from the fast-paced world. The ceremony of preparing, brewing, and enjoying the tea promotes inner peace, reduces stress, and can become a valued daily addition to a self-care routine. (teatelltruth.com) –Liza Grant Smith

BALANCE FITNESS

DESK Jockey Workout WANT TO GET FIT BUT HAVE TROUBLE SNEAKING AWAY FROM YOUR DESK TO EXERCISE? CONSIDER BRINGING THE WORKOUT TO YOU.

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

Driven by the frenetic pace of modern society, more and more fitness companies are introducing exercise machines that can be used under your desk or even serve as a desk or chair itself. This type of equipment helps offset the risks of remaining sedentary, which include heart attack, stroke, dementia, and negative impacts on memory.

While each type of machine boasts its own benefits, the undercurrent of them all is increased calorie burning, healthier joints and muscles, and improved blood circulation. Read on for four options that will have you working double desk duty.

BALL CHAIR

PEDAL DESK

THE MACHINE: Safco Zenergy Ball Chair The sleek styling and colorful vinyl covering options make this ball chair apropos for all types of offices. It delivers on the fitness front by promoting active movement throughout the day.

THE MOTIVATION: Ball chairs force you to engage your trunk and abdominal muscles to remain balanced, with little awareness of the work your body is doing. This type of subtle exercise helps improve posture and balance and reduce back pain. Try replacing your desk chair with a ball chair for only a few hours a day at first to prevent overworking your body. ($375, safcoproducts.com)

TREADMILL DESK THE MACHINE: iMovR Jaxson Treadmill Desk This workstation pairs the Jaxson Desk—with its brushless motor-lifting columns and 3D-laminated desktop—with the ThermoTread GT, a treadmill with a smartphone-like touch screen LCD console that tracks user data.

THE MOTIVATION: The treadmill desk offers a way to get out of your seat and burn calories, all while still getting your work done. ($3,119 as configured, imovr.com)

SEATED ELLIPTICAL THE MACHINE: Cubii JR2+ The Cubii JR2+ provides accessible wellness for all ages and abilities. A builtin display tracks strides, distance, speed, active time, and calories burned. Use the Bluetoothenabled Cubii mobile app to sync progress to your Apple

THE MACHINE: Flexi Spot All-In-One Desk Bike Workstation V9 Stay active and burn calories while performing otherwise sedentary tasks. FlexiSpot’s workstation features an ergonomic exercise bike with adjustable height, eight resistance levels, and a spacious desktop.

THE MOTIVATION: In addition to helping with aerobic exercise, studies show that pedal desk benefits include the prevention of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. ($410, flexispot.com)

Watch and Fitbit. Subscribe to Cubii Studio+ to access live and on-demand workout classes.

THE MOTIVATION: The Cubii targets the lower body and obliques and increases leg strength and mobility. Based on an independently conducted, selfreported survey of more than 1,000 Cubii users, 56 percent reported experiencing “less pain since they started using their seated elliptical.” ($300, cubii.com)

BALANCE WELLNESS

MedHouse, West Palm Beach’s new social wellness club, offers treatments and healing modalities including a float tank, LightStim red light bed, and salt suite.

ACE OF CLUBS What if all the leading-edge wellness and longevity solutions were under one roof and you were able to navigate your experiences with the assistance of a dedicated concierge? That’s the idea behind the new MedHouse, powered by R3 Health. More than just a facility that offers healing modalities like IV and cryotherapy sessions, West Palm Beach’s MedHouse was created to function as a social wellness club where members are part of a community of like-minded individuals focused on optimizing the body, mind, and spirit.

Every detail of the space (from the lighting to the seating options and color palette) was designed with wellness in mind and a desire that each room ooze serenity. The result is a destination that offers instant relaxation and nature-enabled peace alongside its state-of-the-art amenities.

To deliver concierge service, the membership experience team works with members to continuously assess their individual needs and schedule services from the medical, regenerative, antidotes, and beauty categories. On-site staff also includes certified medical providers, registered dietitians,

and health coaches. Membership levels are based on a points system, where members have a certain number of points to use on services every month.

Founder Joseph Radich, the R3 Health medical pioneer and clinical director, explains the process: “We help people understand their bodies and how they are aging. Through our integrated treatment programs, members are able to slow down the aging process and, ultimately, reverse it.

Members come to optimize their health, but also to connect with each other in a positive community environment.” (medhouse.co) –L.G.S.

SELF-CARE

Service With a SMILE

Leonardo Cuevas (top right) is the founder of Shining Smiles, an innovative local teeth whitening business.

While regular dental visits are important for maintaining healthy teeth, in-office teeth whitening can come with a hefty price tag.

Local entrepreneur Leonardo Cuevas knew there had to be a more cost-effective way to deliver this popular aesthetic service. Prior to COVID, he started Shining Smiles as a mobile teeth whitening business. After the pandemic hit and lockdowns ensued, Cuevas was forced to pivot. He developed LED teeth whitening kits that people could incorporate into their at-home self-care routines. In addition to the affordable price (kits cost $75 online, plus free shipping), Cuevas’ wireless and rechargeable device offers longer-lasting results thanks to gel pens with a “brush-on” system containing carbamide peroxide (instead of hydrogen peroxide) and a built-in timer with automatic shutoff to prevent overuse that could lead to tooth sensitivity.

Shining Smiles kits are currently offered in local dental offices, medical spas, and beauty salons, as well as through the company’s website. (shiningsmilesfl.com) –L.G.S.

1. SHOW YOUR LOCKS SOME LOVE. Allow aloe to work its moisturizing magic on your hair. Aloe is also known to strengthen hair, promote its growth, minimize itchy scalp, and protect against UV damage. Local pick: Biolage’s line of Hydra Source products (prices vary) are made with aloe for softer, healthier, and shinier hair. Visit the website to find a local salon (biolage.com)

2. SOOTHE WHAT AILS YOU. Keeping an aloe plant on hand is a first aid fundamental. Using pure aloe vera gel directly from an aloe vera plant is an effective way to treat a long list of ailments including burns, blisters, bruises, cuts, scrapes, bug bites, poison ivy, rashes, and sunburns. Local pick: Amelia’s Smarty Plants offers a selection of aloe vera plants (prices vary). Amelia’s Smarty Plants, Lake Worth (amelias-smartyplants.com) 3. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY COMPLEXION. In addition to helping to replenish and retain skin’s moisture, aloe leads to the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin fibers—all necessary components for keeping skin hydrated and firm when the aging process is trying to do just the opposite. Local pick: Well People’s Dewy Juice Hydrating Aloe Essence ($20) combines the benefits of a toner and an essence. Ulta Beauty locations (ulta.com)

4. KEEP YOUR SENSITIVE TEETH CLEAN. According to a 2009 study published in the journal of the Academy of General Dentistry, aloe vera is as effective as—if not more effective than—two commercial toothpaste brands at cleaning teeth. And, because it isn’t abrasive, it works well for people with sensitive teeth. Local pick: Hello Naturally Healthy Antigingivitis Mouthwash ($5) is formulated with aloe vera instead of alcohol.

5. CALM YOUR POOCH’S ITCHY, DRY SKIN. Aloe vera can be used to battle your furry friend’s irritated and dry skin with healing help. Local Pick: Earthbath’s Oatmeal & Aloe, Vanilla & Almond Pet Shampoo ($16) is safe for all animals 6 weeks and older.

Petco locations (petco.com) 6. GET AN ANTIOXIDANT BOOST. Consuming antioxidant- and vitamin C–rich aloe vera juice can help fight free radicals and reduce the risk of chronic conditions including diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer, as well as support your immune system, help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and minimize bloat. Local Pick: Pitaya Foods’ aloe vera bite-sized cubes ($5) have recipes on the back of the package for easy use. Whole Foods Market locations (wholefoods.com)

YOUR GUIDE TO THE HOT TEST HAPPENINGS THIS MONTH

TOP BILLING

Pearls of Wisdom South of Glades Road, between Dixie and Federal highways, lies Pearl City, the historic treasure of Boca Raton. African American blue-collar workers settled the neighborhood in 1915, making it the city’s oldest community. To celebrate this jewel, acclaimed Washington, D.C.–based photographer and activist Reginald Cunningham set out to photograph the descendants of these settlers, along with the district’s current residents, and capture their oral histories.

Explore the gems of the photographer’s mission in

“Reginald Cunningham: Black Pearls” at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, just half a mile away from Pearl City. In “Black Pearls,” more than a dozen large-scale portrait photographs reveal the subjects’ magnetism, accompanied by audio recordings and family mementos passed down through the generations.

The exhibition, on view in the Focus Gallery from September 3 to January 22, will be unveiled at an opening reception at the museum September 2. Tickets are $25. (bocamuseum.org) –Abigail Duffy

LAST WORD How did you start your multifaceted platform that promotes size inclusivity and empowers women of all sizes?

Our mission at Megababe is to help tackle “taboo” body issues and provide effective solutions for people to feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin. Things like thigh chafe, boob sweat, and B.O. are typically known as taboo topics that people don’t discuss. But in reality these are everyday issues women face. I love being able to create products that solve these problems, like our Thigh Rescue chafe stick, Bust Dust, and our full line of clean deodorant, like our newly launched Cream Deo.

I started my blog, The 12ishStyle, to help women who were a size 12-plus find stylish clothing. Once this began to take off, I realized most women, regardless of their size, were also unhappy with their bodies. I wanted to help change that narrative, which is what I aim to do through my blog, Instagram (@katiesturino), podcast, and solution-oriented beauty brand, Megababe.

Your #SuperSizeTheLook and #MakeMySize content series have created a body positive environment on social media. How did the idea for these come about?

#SuperSizeTheLook kicked off in 2015 to show that style has no size. It’s a weekly series where I re-create the look of a celebrity or public figure whose style I admire. #SuperSizeTheLook is never about who wore it better, because that mindset only keeps us down and pits women against each other.

My #MakeMySize campaign is when I try on the biggest size a brand offers just to shed light on how small it is on me. It’s a way for me to speak up to these brands in hopes they extend their sizing, and some brands have actually listened, which has been really rewarding.

What’s an unexpected lesson you learned when writing your book, Body Talk?

REAL TALK WITH...

Katie Sturino

For this body acceptance advocate, author, and entrepreneur, confidence is the most important accessory

BY KATHERINE LANDE

What is the mission behind your cult favorite beauty brand Megababe?

176

Where do you find your style inspiration?

I love the way women dress at The Royal Poinciana Plaza in Palm Beach. They are so chic. It’s fun to sit down at Sant Ambroeus with a cappuccino and just watch the fashion show. I definitely get a lot of style inspiration when I’m in Palm Beach. People have so much fun with their style.

What would you tell your 18-year-old self today?

I would tell her to put her confidence on first.

Truly, what people react to is confidence, and when you’re not confident, people pick up on it.

It was quite hard for me emotionally to relive some of the stuff in Body Talk. You’d figure that after all of this work throughout the years, I’d be numb to it and it would be easy, but it wasn’t. Overall, it was a really great healing process for me getting everything out there. I have loved connecting with women about the book and their own journeys.

What do you love most about Palm Beach?

Megababe, Katie Sturino’s cult favorite beauty brand, helps people feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin with an array of products that tackle “taboo” body issues.

The best part about Palm Beach is living on the beach. It’s a nice detox from NYC; [it’s] peaceful and I love being able to just walk out of my house and onto the beach. I’m lucky to be able to call this place home.
