🙏 there's a reason this interview began with a shoutout for **today's birthday gal** @melanierosemonaco 🥳 👉 there's no way @sjmonaco could run @monaco.studios , @equalmeasurearts , and @thesquareportland on top of raising two kids without her support 🥰 sending heaps of gratitude her way today and all days, and a big shoutout to all the other partners and moms out there encouraging & supporting big dreams ✨ [and thanks to @luigi_scarcelli_official_ for working with our family's schedule so we could get in on the NYE fun at @portlandmediacenter !]
