Today is #NationalLawEnforcementSuicideAwarenessDay
I wrote this dedication for my dissertation in 2021. In the 4 years since, another 500 officers have died by suicide. It is for these individuals - these mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, friends - that I do this work. (1/)

When daycare works, it's LIFECHANGING.
When the little germs pass every low-risk but ridiculously contagious & annoying disease from one to another & I have to work from home without childcare unexpectedly, it makes me want to yeet myself into traffic.

Add my speaking engagements (podcasts/webinars), & I want to add to it with blogging/substacks, short form videos with educational content, maybe the basis of a pending book. 👀👏🏼

Yesterday was #EqualPayDay and for every $1 white men make:
Asian women: 94 cents
White women: 80 cents
Black women: 66 cents
Native and Latina women: 58 cents
Women get paid less, but across racial lines the pay is even LOWER. This is #TheDoubleTax.

NEW study examining suicidal ideation among law enforcement officers. The big (not surprising) takeaway: improving mental health and responses to PTSD are critical aspects to preventing suicide among this population. More details in thread and links at the end.
