My mom was the one who gave me Flowers in the Attic at like age 11. She has no regrets 🤷🏽♀️
My daughter is reading Flowers in the Attic at my suggestion and every once in a while I'll get a text like "omg everyone in this book is sick af" and I remind her I read this at like 10 or 11 years old.

I was a kid in Pete Wilson's California. I still remember the intense fear. Now as an adult and a citizen it's different and I'm in a position to make a difference in my community.
I will do everything for the kids I work with. I just wish I could take away the fear.

We can't burnout early and we have to keep our eye on the end goal. A better future is possible.
I'm spending tomorrow taking kids to the Holocaust Museum. I won't check on the news until I get home. I owe it to my community to remain hopeful and fight.
