reader, writer, cat lover, film buff. also birds.
Attended tonight and feel so proud to be a graduate of this program! And equally proud to have been part
of a class taught by @jasondesanto.bsky.social who delivered a profound keynote. We communicators have so much to teach in the face of so much to fear.
