Welcome back to another episode of First Round’s On Me. Today, we have a very special guest joining us, a fellow Staten Islander and the visionary behind Island to East Side—Christina Carmona. Island to East Side is a women’s accessory and décor brand that has collaborated with celebs, major sports teams, and even gifted her products to the Kardashians for Christmas! 

With such an impressive career, we can’t wait to dive into how she runs a successful company while balancing her personal life, her perspective on love, dating, and human connection—and everything in between.
