I do not like the world as it is; so I am trying to make it a little more as I want it.” – Helen Keller, 1927

Her words are a timeless reminder that change begins with engagement. If we want a more just, inclusive, and compassionate world, we have to be part of shaping it. Show up. Speak out.

Pride is not just a celebration—it is a call to action. A reminder to stand together, defend our hard-won rights, and protect the most vulnerable among us.

Let our joy be our resistance, our history our strength, and our unity our shield. Happy Pride, my chosen family. Let’s make it count. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has abruptly canceled over $12B in SAMHSA grants, cutting funds for mental health, addiction treatment, and disease tracking. These cuts strain already underfunded state public health and mental health departments.

In a world that often feels divided, choosing to pursue good—through kindness, advocacy, and action—has never been more important. Small acts of compassion create ripples that drive lasting change. Let us uplift one another, stand for justice, and make an impact where it is needed most.

🏳️‍🌈 Grateful for an incredible first annual Pride in Public Health Summit! 🏳️‍⚧️ More than 250 people joined us at CU Anschutz, in partnership with the Colorado School of Public Health and Envision:You, to explore the intersection of public health, behavioral health, and community well-being. #LGBTQ

With the recent news that Denver Health, UC Health, and Colorado Children's Hospital have halted gender-affirming care for adolescents in Colorado, we appreciate Attorney General Phil Weiser's commitment to ensuring that this essential, life-saving care remains accessible to those who need it.

Belonging and equity are not just ideals—they are essential in our workplaces, schools, and communities. When we create spaces where everyone feels valued, heard, and supported, we foster innovation, resilience, and stronger connections.

Privilege is like an invisible backpack — filled with unearned advantages that some people carry without even realizing it. It's not about blaming anyone, but recognizing that these advantages can create barriers for others.

As the transition of power unfolds in the United States, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s messages on civil rights and economic opportunity remain more relevant than ever. Let us reaffirm our commitment to his vision, ensuring that civil rights and economic opportunities are upheld for all communities.

Dear President Biden and Vice President Harris,

Thank you for your leadership and service. Your commitment to equity, mental health, and LGBTQ+ rights inspires hope and progress for our nation. ✨️❤️

I am out today participating in the People’s March 2025, demonstrating solidarity with refugees, queer individuals, communities of color, and other marginalized groups. There is much work to be done, and I remain committed to a country that uplift all people.

My heart is full after more than 75 people came together in Denver last night in support of our LGBTQ+ community—to share joy, reflect on how to prepare for challenging days ahead, shed a few tears, and leave with renewed confidence in our collective ability to persevere through solidarity. ❤️

Happy Monday! Every week brings a fresh start, a new chance to move closer to your dreams, and an opportunity to create positive change. Remember: small steps can lead to big, meaningful impact. Let’s make this week one of purpose, connection, and growth! 🌟✨ #MondayMotivation #NewWeekNewGoals

Dogs are more than companions—they are boosters for our mental well-being. Their unconditional love, loyalty, and ability to bring joy reduce stress, combat loneliness, and improve overall mental health.
