If you're a follower of Purely Patricia on Instagram or all platforms, know you she's caught they eye of many photographers, you-tubers, news organizations and the like. Like moths we're drawn to her style, taste, fashion, but then... if so lucky... we're able to talk and have a conversation in a series of photos and this non-interview interview. Patricia and I had the opportunity to sit down for an hour conversation post shoot, and reflect and explore on a variety of topics. As a point of fact, I'm not one to rehash questions and answers that other outlets have used. That is definitely not KARJAKA. We don't really do interviews. Instead, we let the tape roll for an hour, and the crew and I picked out various tidbits of our lengthy conversation, and ended appropriately with a question that I ask all the people in our orbit. We've managed to condense the talk into about 10+ minutes of stylish conversation and photos with the simply fabulous Patricia Fox, that are sure to satiate the senses. -KAR

Marking the passage of time is something humans have done for tens of thousands of years, from early societies tracking lunar cycles to plan their harvests, to Jonathan Larson reminding us we can actually measure our lives in love (I’m sorry).  This month marks my 10-year anniversary of surviving New York City which, according to Fran Lebowitz, officially makes me a New Yorker. As someone who routinely gets to the airport early just to journal for 45 minutes about my “intentions for the trip,” my overly sensitive, long-winded ass has been wrestling with how best to honor this decennial milestone. Instead of over indulging in a metaphor about New York being the situationship that drains your bank account, but still gets the beautiful montage, I’ve decided to boil my decade here down to 10 things I’ve learned along the way. Whether you’re a seasoned New Yorker, brand new to the city, or just someone from high school who still follows me out of muscle memory, I hope these pieces of wisdom are helpful, or at the very least, entertaining enough to justify why you’re still here.

Every major leap in science came from building precision infrastructure: genomics for medicine, algorithmic trading for finance, real-time supply chains for logistics. But when it comes to people — talent, mental health, education — we’re still guessing. CVs, interviews, and intuition drive decisions worth billions. The result: wasted potential on a massive scale — lost productivity, innovation and growth. Behavioral AI is the next frontier. It makes human development as precise and data-rich as finance or medicine. Marta Morawska is building that frontier. By the time most of her peers were finishing one degree, she was already enrolled in two PhD programs — Interdisciplinary Humanities focused on psychology, sociology, and anthropology and later Economics & Business. She spent over two years in the Arctic Circle, where she co-founded a medical practice serving nearly a quarter of the local population, including indigenous Sámi communities, while conducting research on resilience and cognition in extreme environments.

Summertime is the weekend of the year. And guess what: Monday has arrived. Beach days are a memory. And rosé all day is a next year thing. You’ll soon be settling into pumpkin pie-flavored drinks, Spirit Halloween on every corner, and commuting in the dark. And sweaters. Thick, cozy sweaters.  But before you throw in the towel on good-day sunshine, there’s still time to find your light.
