Bel-Air, Los Angeles - January 8, 2026 - A distinguished red-carpet book launch and cultural celebration will be hosted at the Bel-Air residence of businessman and philanthropist Phil Westbrooks, bringing together Hollywood elite, global leaders, humanitarians, artists, and influencers for an elegant evening of literature, music, and international cuisine.
The evening will celebrate the release of We Are Not the Same, a reflective memoir written for adult readers.
