✅ What the Arizona Corporation Commission actually does
✅ How utility decisions impact families and small businesses

During the strike, I won’t be buying Starbucks — and I’m encouraging friends and neighbors to support local cafés instead.
Workers deserve fair treatment, fair wages, and a fair contract.
Solidarity matters. 💚✨

Sharing insights about the Arizona Corporation Commission.

Visited Ceres today to support a business truly giving back during tough times—especially with so many families impacted by SNAP benefit loss. Their team claimed they serve the best cannoli in town, and honestly? I can’t come up with a decent argument against it.

Volunteering with Junior Achievement at the Phoenix STEM Summit today was an absolute highlight.
I had the chance to teach students about airplane science—how lift, drag, and design all come together to make something fly. The creativity in their designs was incredible!

Last night, we went for the first time to Wild West Market. We went because they are helping the community with meals for those who are not receiving their SNAP benefits. Since they are supporting the community, we want to support them!

Roadside Democracy took me to Alamo Lake — population 7.
Yeah, I had to look it up too. Turns out, it’s that beautiful nowhere in Arizona that’s totally worth the drive.
Within five minutes, I made a burro friend.

What a blast at Perks and Politics in Mesa!
The Mai Tai energy was absolutely delicious—vibrant, refreshing, and full of local flavor. The staff kept the vibes high with sass, laughter, and so much warmth.
Events like this remind me why community connection matters.

We hosted an intimate meet and greet, and the conversations were open, personal, and full of heart.

Had an inspiring afternoon collecting signatures at the Cottonwood Public Library — and what a reminder it was that conversations still matter.
From meaningful chats with new friends from the Kingdom Hall who helped me set up, to neighbors who shared their excitement.

What a night at CALA Alliance’s fundraiser at Chilte on Monday!
I managed to snag the very last Crunchwrap Burger (worth every bite) and found myself sharing a table with two people I’d never met—“yet to be friends.”
