  "account": "In my 20s, I moved back to New York City after graduating from college and struggling to find a job in television. Unemployed and struggling financially, I decided to live with a 76-year-old stranger in her spare bedroom in Queens. My new roommate, Carmelina, inspired me to step outside my comfort zone and introduced me to a community I'd always wished for. Living with Carmelina, I learned to build confidence, foster community, and make new connections. I now make small talk in elevators, invite new friends to dinner, and cherish the connections I have.",
