One of the many remarkable attributes of New York is that no one can
be an outsider here. It’s a city so diverse even “misfits” belong. It
practically begs you to be yourself, and that’s extremely rare in this
world—maybe getting rarer by the day. But anyone with any maturity
knows that the sooner you start being yourself, the better, despite
challenges that can result. I titled this series “The Insiders,”
because these individuals seemed to understand the importance of being
who they are. They had this inside information; they knew one of the
greatest secrets to good living. – Amy Touchette
