It was such a pleasure working with you! I’m grateful there’s another resource out in the world to help parents and caregivers navigate raising a child in the digital age.
Brand new resource just launched! I worked with @UNICEF to help parents and guardians know how to talk to their child about cyberbullying. Of course, I'm here to provide further input and advice for your specific online platform, school, family, or community situation - just DM me. lnkd.in/enRhw3XE

Watching my local paper wither away breaks my heart. This made me smile today.
They were journalists at major news outlets in New York and D.C. before taking big pay cuts to run the Midcoast Villager, a paper covering a rocky, coastal part of Maine.

The news of a ceasefire brings a much-needed, long-overdue glimmer of hope for children and families in Gaza.
UNICEF is ready - we have a plan in place, supplies on the move, and a team on the ground providing children with life-saving supplies and services.

I don’t even know how to begin to explain the implications of this decision. So many children are going to suffer, needlessly, by the stroke of a pen.
This morning, the Senate approved the rescissions package submitted by the White House and passed by the House earlier this year reclaiming Fiscal Year 2025 funding for critical humanitarian programs, including UNICEF’s core funding. This is a profound setback for children around the world. (1/5)
