Avni Parekh, author, founder of Be The Bigger Person athleisurewear, and reality TV star brightens the day of a very special Bravo TV viewer and Family Karma supporter with a private meet-and-greet event and book signing at the swanky Thesis Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida. 

Family Karma, the wholesome reality TV show Bravo fans are raving about and that’s been trending on Twitter, is days away from its season 3 finale. Part of what makes the show so special is its down-to-earth cast. 

Avni Parekh,a newcomer to the show, quickly became a fan favorite this season. Her funny and impactful appearances in season 3 made the show’s enthusiasts wonder more about her. One of those people is Indiana native Danique Thompson. “A successful, self-made businesswoman,” as Avni describes on her Instagram post, Danique watches Bravo’s Family Karma and has tuned in since season 1.

An avid reader we imagine, who Avni writes is “big on books,” Danique kindly shares her thoughts about the show and cast on Twitter. She also goes the extra mile by supporting their causes and businesses. For instance, after learning that Avni is an author from an early episode in the season, she bought a copy of Avni’s book Be The Bigger Person: Scenarios & Solutions to Better Yourself. Finding many of the situations relatable to her own life and continually seeking to better herself, Danique reached out to the insightful author on Twitter when the season first aired to share she bought her book.

Forging a conversation with Family Karma’s Indian Barbie doll on Twitter, Danique asked Avni when her next book signing would be and waited patiently for the next event to be announced. In Avni’s Instagram post, she notes that the Bravo fan recently “came to Miami to visit family,” and most recently, Danique reached out to the big-eyed beauty mentioning she’s going back home and would love nothing more than to get her book signed.

Meeting up at Mamey Miami’s oasis-like bar on the first floor, located within the tropical Thesis Hotel in Coral Gables, Danique had a chance to talk with Avni about the show she cherishes so much. And, get her copy of Avni’s self-help book, Be The Bigger Person, signed! Aside from a private meet-and-greet and book signing, the two enjoyed the venue’s signature drinks compliments of their hosts at Mamey Miami. Delving further on the fun experience, Avni’s captions she treated the two to “some delicious bites by Chef Niven.”

On an Instagram story that Avni reposted that was originally shared by Danique, the midwest beauty tells her social media audience that Avni is “literally one of the sweetest souls out there!” We’re getting a clear understanding of why Avni is so loved by Family Karma fans — she’s authentic, genuine, generous, and connects with the viewers — we’ll continue to report on this remarkable author and Bravo’s newest Bollywood star in the making.  

Family Karma episode 15 is scheduled to air Sunday, February 26th at 9 p.m. on Bravo TV. This is the show’s most-anticipated episode of the year, closing out an incredible season with an epic finale, with the beautiful Avni Parekh in tow.

“I am heartbroken about the loss of the incredible Sonya Eddy, I truly loved her not only as an actress, but as a friend. The lights in the hub of the nurses’ station will now be a little dimmer, but her spirit and light will live on in both the show and our set. On behalf of the entire GH cast and crew, we send our deepest sympathy to her family, friends, and fans. She will be very missed.”

Frank Valentini, an executive producer for General Hospital, said in a statement.

Eddy, a licensed vocational nurse in real life, joined General Hospital in 2006 as Epiphany Johnson, the no-nonsense head nurse who succeeded Audrey Hardy (played by Rachel Ames) at the Port Charles hospital and mother of the late Stan Johnson (Kiko Ellsworth), who met his demise after getting wrapped up with the mob. She reprised her role in the 2007 spin-off General Hospital: Night Shift, which ran for two seasons.

The California, native attended the University of California, Davis, and majored in theater and dance. After receiving her bachelor’s degree, she was also a licensed vocational nurse.

“The world lost another creative angel. Her legions of @generalhospitalabc fans will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones, friends, and fans.”

On Tuesday, Oscar winner Octavia Spencer announced the death of her close friend on Instagram, writing:

We don’t know all the details yet of her cause of death but might have to do with post surgery from an unknown matter.

Kymberly Harris’ love for film started at six years old. Her father was a huge cinephile, and she recalls watching the Criterion Collection alongside him growing up in the Midwest. She says she was also “primed to tell stories” since she would be grounded if she didn’t finish her book list for the week. However, although she was introduced to the beauty of films and storytelling at an early age, she wasn’t aware that her calling would be directing. Kymberly says, “[I] didn’t understand [that] directing was an immediate option for me” upon graduating from college.

Kymberly acted her whole life and got a Master’s degree in theatre and a Master of Fine Arts in acting and playwriting. Soon after, she hit the ground running in New York City, exploring filmmaking and acting. When Kymberly was in Los Angeles, someone asked her to direct a short she had written, and that’s when it all clicked. “I realized film directing is my real passion and that there was a place for all of the skill sets to go. I’ve been writing and directing ever since.”

Six years later, Kymberly has released her latest feature film, I Heard Sarah. Kymberly’s lead in the film, Dan Adoniev, brought the story to her, and in part, he himself inspired the film. The art mirrored life in this film, and they developed it with what Kymberly calls “ a real indie spirit.” She says, “The band [in the film] even wrote a song together in between scenes that became part of the film.” Kymberly gave the actors a lot of free space to act out on their impulses, she noted that she is interested in character layers and delights in the fact that films allow her to be more specific and personal in the exploration of characters. She still had the same idea for how she wanted the story to develop and arc but wanted these fresh moments to be featured, such as when Ian and Skate improvised and ran up to a real TMZ bus.

I Heard Sarah follows Troubled rockstar Ian Ford, played by Dan Adoniev, who escapes from court-mandated rehab to visit his childhood friend and going to where it all started. While he has been living the high life, touring the world for the past six years, his former best friend and bandmate, Josh, played by Cameron Jones, got married and started teaching music to high schoolers in their hometown. Then when Ian arrives back home, he throws Josh’s life upside down, all because Ian needs to reveal a deadly secret that forces both men to face the truth. You can watch the movie on streaming platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and the Google Play store.

Despite the challenges, the film faced during Covid-19, Kymberly pushed the film into the film festival community and received the Robert Rodriguez award in Oklahoma. What inspired her to push on and make it out to film festivals was knowing that Martin Scorcese and Leonardo DiCaprio were out there with her, masking up and pushing on.

It is unbelievable that within a week, Kymberly managed to shoot a film along the Pacific Coast Highway, in Elton John’s mansion, on Sunset Boulevard, and film two music videos for the movie. She has a lot of gratitude for the audiences telling her the film moved them and resonated with their recovery stories despite the obstacles she and the crew faced. Kymberly hopes that the power of art and filmmaking can inspire an audience. She states, “I connect with film when I can identify with the character on screen. I wish this representation for everyone, where more and more films are made with characters of every gender, race, class, and age leading their own stories. We all need to be able to see ourselves in art and media.”

Now, what are her hopes and dreams for the future? Kymberly says that she hopes to have the feature she finished writing financed, have her own production studio, and wants more representation for all. She also tells us that she is attached to directing two more features and is currently writing a TV series; it looks like 2023 will be a hectic and exhilarating year for Kymberly.

Kymberly proves that you don’t need months of filming and a hefty budget to produce a meaningful film. She was able to build layers on top of characters that made them come to life and created a fantastic work of art. Once you experience this film, you’ll have a newfound admiration for Kymberly Harris. Keep an eye out for her upcoming features next year.
