Straight out of Overland Park, KS - my brother-in-law Jeff landed a deal with Shark Lori Greiner for his product ChessUp. Awesome. #Entrepreneur No risk no reward.

SOCI Investors/Board members attended KidZone Learning Center Christmas Program last night. All 60 children enrolled received hats/mittens/gloves from SOCI. 16 of the 60 children are SOCI Scholarship recipients. Thanks to all SOCI donors who make this seasonal cheer possible.

Merry Christmas 🎄 to all. I joined fellow ⁦@of_soci⁩ board members at the KidZone holiday program in KCK to celebrate our Systems of Care Initiative youth scholars. The director stated it perfectly “SOCI is about families helping families.”

As I reflect on 2022 … I wanted to express my gratitude to so many Kansans in #KS03. It was a tough year, but I will hold in my ❤️ heart the amazing people I met forever. Cheers 🥂 to 2023 … new beginnings and worthwhile adventures.

Thinking of #MartinLutherKing this morning “Only in the darkness can you see the stars.” Our country continues to be troubled in so many ways. I pray for wisdom & courage … that the American people will focus on the “content of one’s character” & promote integrity. #MLKDay2023

My ❤️ is with those at the March for Life today celebrating the dignity and value of everyone. #WhyWeMarch

Visioning a Kansas City where the workforce doesn't struggle to find care and all children have access to high quality experiences. More to come!

China has "stunning lead" in 37/44 emerging technologies, & has "bolstered its research w/ knowledge gained overseas."U.S. needs to⬆️our talent flow of researchers (STEM students 🇺🇸), screen for illegal tech transfers, & favor collab w/ democratic nations.reuters.com/technology/chi…

Congratulations to Deborah Mann and the entire team at Emmanuel for an amazing and inspiring luncheon today. SOCI is proud to partner with Emmanuel and the Hall Family Foundation on the early childhood mental health project. Emmanuel is leading the way in mental health supports!

Absolute ♥️love♥️ for the beautiful culture and resilience of my Hispanic friends. Flank steak and chimichurri sauce (ok Argentina 🇦🇷)!!! And Mexican 🇲🇽 corn cakes and red beans for the vegetarians. Salud! #CincoDeMayo #CosmicFoodAdventure

My husband & I were just talking about having met Michael Chiarello in one of his restaurants. He was charming … & his food - inspired. You + Anthony Bourdain are the reason I created a food blog #cosmicfoodadventure with my children. #Inspiration RIP. ♥️ youtube.com/@cosmicfoodadv…

Healthcare costs too much & is not making us healthier. Transparency (cost) is critical. I look forward to the Trump admin enforcing rules that require hospitals and health insurance to show actual prices … our pocketbooks depend on it.  thehill.com/opinion/health…

I support H-1B visas, but “why aren’t we producing enough top-quality grads to power our economy?” We need business to develop curriculum + ensure students ‘know’ subjects. AND parents teaching critical thinking @ home. High expectations + right focus.  mindingthecampus.org/2025/01/08/deb…

“Meet every crisis with dignity, power, and strength” … Wishing success to President Donald J. Trump. Our great country is depending on your leadership. 🇺🇸 #InaugurationDay

“We believe that the voices of women leaders are important in public debate” … these words inspired me to co-found the #Eisenhower Excellence in Public Service Series 20 years ago. 400 graduates later… great to meet the new class of committed leaders. You make me proud. ♥️
