Last DEI hire…
That’s how it feels.
Starting from absolutely nothing and building a person-centered program didn’t mean much.
I’ll be so gracious that it will hurt even more but I will walk away knowing I did everything I could to provide dignity in a time of crisis

What happens when you are a reminder of the fear?
When your very existence is the threat to someone’s perfect life.
It’s erasure. Funding cuts are an easy way out.
Now you are not a daily reminder that being at-risk or unhoused exist.

For over 10hrs, I listened to Senator Cory Booker. I was determined not to miss the historic moment. It was an emotional investment.
I cried, I laughed, I cheered. Colleagues showed up to support!
Now more than ever, I want to buy a bunch of US Constitutions and place them in little libraries

Dear Senator Cassidy,
I do not care about your “cordial”conversations with RFK.
I want to ensure that my kids will never be told to drink BLEACH to cure Autism.
RFK would never stand up against Trump’s pseudoscience and is not qualified to be the Secretary of HHS.
