In Springfield, Illinois, my social media feeds are filled with updates on the trial related to the murder of Sonya Massey. Rather than continuing to look at the face of the murderer, I decided to post Sonya’s beautiful face. #SayHerName #SonyaMassey #JusticeForSonya

As we get ready to start the 2025-2026 school year, it’s important to think about the importance of relationship-building and connection. Check out this little article I wrote for @ilascdsocial @il_ascd.

Nonviolence:
-is a way of life for courageous people. -seeks to win friendship and understanding.
-seeks to defeat injustice, not people. -holds that suffering can educate and transform.
-chooses love instead of hate. -believes that the universe is on the side of justice.

The other day I accidentally called winter break “Reading break.” As in, “I have big plans for my reading break.” I think the universe was listening, because a package was just delivered to my door. Thanks, @macmillanusa! #ReadingBreak #WinterBreak #BigPlans #TBR #NewBooks #Books

I got to read to the SHA Stars (an afterschool program with the Springfield Housing Authority). Every moment of it was spectacular. Of course, I chose to read I AM EVRY GOOD THING by @authorderrickdbarnes (illus. @gordoncjamesart.bsky.social. Then, the geniuses wrote and drew their own good things.

Milo Imagines the World… by Matt de la Peña and illustrated by Christian Robinson that brought a student to tears. “This is the most seen that I have ever felt from a book. I can relate on multiple levels.”
