I'll be headed to Open Source Summit in Denver next week as a speaker in the Equity and Inclusion track.

I would love to connect with people from the community, so please let me know if you're coming to the conference.

Laid off after 1.5 years as Chief of Staff at the LF. Grateful for the growth, proud of the impact. Taking a beat to reset—and open to what’s next. If you need a strategic partner to help drive vision into action, let’s connect. #OpenToWork #ChiefOfStaff

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

At the end-of-year Dance banquet, Hayden was recognized for his dedication to dance through consistent attendance. His friends were all recognized too. What a great group of kids! 🕺🏽

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?

So proud of my son Hayden and his dance performance at Durham School of the Arts. He’s an arts kid doing dance, violin, guitar, voice, and visual arts. Our family has always valued and loved the arts. So glad he is carrying on the tradition.

Do not give your heart to anything else
But to the love of those who are clear joy,
Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair.
For there are hopes: they are real, they exist –
Do not go in the direction of darkness –
I tell you: suns exist.
