Originals · Give and Take
Cuddy brings an abundance of humility and charm to the page. Her presence itself — her openhearted desire to help the insecure and the uneasy in this age of anxiety — shines through. Presence feels at once concrete and inspiring, simple but ambitious — above all, truly powerful.
