Yay, Richie! Your hard work, dedication, ambition, and talent are unmatched. I’m so happy you are being recognized for your investment and involvement in the community! Now, this post may put me on the paparazzi’s radar…and they may become extra relentless once they learn I’m your sister, leaving me little to no choice but to entertain their need to get the dirt on you. Don’t worry! I’m already preparing for it. I’ll probably say something along the lines of- “From the moment I met him, I knew he had something special.” “I saw his potential early on and knew he would go far.” “Of course he was going to be successful, our parents doted on him. My sister and I didn’t mind though. Oh, you didn’t even know Richie had two siblings? Neither did our parents.” “He’s always put 127% into his work. For example, that time he modeled for Abercrombie…”.* As for questions like: “Does he always obey the speed limit?” “Has he ever used Sun In?” “Is it true Grover is his favorite Sesame Street character?” You can rest assured I’ll answer “No comment.”.  While I can’t say I’m surprised you made the list, if asked about my feelings on your inclusion, I will express I am a litttttttle disappointed you’ve not made a 30 Under 30. Clearly you didn’t consider how that would make your older sister feel. I guess you only gave 95% during that selection timeframe. In all seriousness, I’m so proud of you! But I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the amazing support and partnership you have with Charissa. Together, you both make an unstoppable team, and I'm in awe of the way you complement each other's talents. Bravo to both of you for your incredible accomplishments! Your bestest, however, are the four kiddos. 💜 *The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions, implications, exaggerations, deliberate falsehoods, etc. in the content of this post.
