I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — I’m grateful to live in Salem and to work with these amazing advocates and change makers.

Check this out! Justin is super smart and this is important work he’s doing.

Always a pleasure to speak with emerging social workers at Florida State University. We talked #guns , #depression , and #safestorage today.

Today is the first day in over 10 years that I woke up and didn’t take a daily pill to manage my #HIV . This is exciting and terrifying all at the same time. I’m really fortunate to have this illness in a time where it’s not synonymous with death.

Getting a prescription filled shouldn’t be a full-time job. Why is our healthcare system so terribly flawed?

It seems that some white men have such fragile #masculinity that they feel compelled to perpetrate mass violence.

GO NOLES!

In a world full of Elon Musks. Be a Dolly Parton.

Check this out! I loved working on this project.

Grateful to be acting as one of more than 200 delegates for NASW at the convening of the Delegate Assembly. Honored to contribute to my profession in this meaningful way.

I often imagine an alternate reality where Hillary Clinton won her presidential bid.
