Executive Director at the LEAD Coalition (a diverse, national coalition working to overcome #Alzheimers disease and other forms of #dementia). @umichlaw.bsky.social and WashU alum.

You may have known me as @LEAD_Coalition on the bird site
Maybe one of the most compelling and important messages you'll ever see. Thank you @kim.senate.gov for your honesty, your vulnerability, your commitment to help both your family and those all across our country (and around the world) to overcome Alzheimer's disease and other causes of dementia.
A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family.

Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones.

I hope you’ll join me.

It is easy to become consumed by stress and hard to find time for self care. But preventing burnout is essential to sustaining and potentially improving our caregiving.

In his 1964 State of the Union address, Johnson told the nation that it should ask prospective immigrants, “What can you do for our country?,” not “In what country were you born?” Johnson was right, whatever the Trump administration would like to believe.
