In 1994, #oksanabaiul blew my mind (& many others) when she skated for gold at the #Olympics. In the 28 years since, I haven't felt the same thrill watching any other skater until now--#KamilaValiyeva is the new G.O.A.T. Mesmerizing, awe-inspiring & tear-inducing. Just wow.

Pleased to share a meaningful step toward a new, inclusive plan for arts & culture in #CharlotteNC: The cultural planning RFP is out! Thanks to the advisory board for their hard work & collaboration in getting this into the world. #Arts #culture #planning Art by: Nick Napoletano

I'm always in awe of the people who risk their lives while serving the rest of us. Wishing healing for the families of #CMPD colleagues & #USMarshalls who died in the line of duty today, like Officer Eyer. It's too little, too late, but: I thank you for your service. #rip
