I occupy the unique space where education, social work, juvenile justice, neuroscience, therapy, and HOPE intersect.
Also I’m a traveler, a dreamer, a proud but very unorganized neurodivergent, a childless cat lady, and a spouse to my bff.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

This woman is the boss. 🤩✊🏼🫶✌🏼
I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
