Ivanka Trump

And I think I got that from her. So we would just swim together all the time. And... It's a lot of what I love about Miami, actually, being so close to the ocean. I find it to be super cathartic. But a lot of my memories of my mom, seeing her really just in her bliss, is floating around in a body of saltwater.

Yeah, I think she really was a trailblazer. It's not uncommon in real estate for there to be multiple generations of people. And so on job sites, it was not unusual for me to run into somebody whose grandfather had worked with my grandfather in Brooklyn or Queens or whose father had worked with my mother. And they'd always tell me these stories about her rolling in and they'd hear the heels first.

And a lot of times the story would be like, oh, gosh, like, you know, really? It's two days after Christmas. Like, we thought we'd get a reprieve. But she was very exacting. You know, so I had this visual in my mind of her, you know, walking on rebar, you know, on the balls of her feet in these four-inch heels. I'm assuming she actually carried flats with her. But I don't know.

That's not the visual I have. Yeah. But I loved the fact that she so embodied femininity and glamour and was so comfortable being tough and ambitious and determined and this unbelievable businesswoman and entrepreneur at a time when she was very much alone, even for me in the development world and

So many of the different businesses that I've been in, there really aren't women outside of sales and of marketing. You don't see as many women in the development space, in the construction space, even in the architecture and design space. Maybe outside of interior design. And she was decades ahead of me. I love hearing these stories.

I love hearing somebody who's my peer tell me about their grandfather and their father and their experience with one of my parents. It's amazing.

That would be her exact thing. And when I'd complain about wearing something, you know, it was like the early 90s. Everything was also like uncomfortable, these fabrics and materials. And I was like... go back and forth between being super girly and a total tomboy. But she'd, you know, dress me up in these things and I'd be complaining about it.
