On Sundays I watch football. The Pats are my team, since way before the Brady years.
Yelling at the TV during games brings me joy. May your Sunday bring you joy 🏈

My day job is working with our Native communities on voter engagement and education. One of the big discussions we’ve had with our fellows who worked this election season is about data integrity and how important it is to see the whole picture. #CouncilorAF
