My mom is a superhuman. She built this pantry for her neighborhood! I got my love of construction from her, but I’m still learning to be half the woman she is. Even when life throws everything against her, she is always looking to help other people beside herself. #prouddaughter

For many kids, school is not about learning; it’s about connecting. They may miss your lessons... but I guarantee you they miss their friends. I’m grateful for teachers everywhere who are working to keep the connections going. The students need it.

A quarantine birthday isn’t so bad after all. Happy 15th Brooklyn Mya!

It has been said that, “Knowledge is power.” But in the age of Google, knowledge can be cheap. What is powerful… is the ability to create it, evaluate it, apply it, and collaborate with others to capitalize on it.

This is important. #HackingSchoolDiscipline
