I met Dr. Frankie years ago on a women’s vacation with hundreds of other women. It was my first trip traveling as a single gay woman and I was terrified. Dr. Frankie was the Director of singles activities. She took the time to get to know each and every solo and encouraged us to step out of our comfort zone and get to know each other through speed dating and other creative ways. I was amazed at how at ease I felt and It turned out to be the best vacation I ever had. I left it a changed and confident woman. She is very insightful with the issues and emotions we face in our daily lives and relationships, and has a keen sense of putting the right people together. It’s rare that you meet someone who can enlighten you about things you can’t see for yourself and inspire change in your life. Frankie is one of those rare individuals I am privileged to know.
