This is one of the things I love about the military overseas and my kids going to a DoDEA school. Their schools are very diverse without losing opportunities. It’s sad that it’s not like that everywhere and definitely something I think about when I look ahead to moving stateside again.

Love your poem!!

It’s hard isn’t it? Military kids grow up with the world the appropriate size!

Also thank you friend 🥹 That means a lot!

Can we be friends? I'm serious. I don't know how I signed up for your newsletter but when I saw "school board" in my in box I thought, well, that seems like a a coincidental hook I shouldn't ignore. I'm glad I listened and read it. Wow. This is so well written and relatable even though your story is clearly different than mine. I was just wondering in the past day (but bigger) if my words are needed. Just now

I was contemplating "ehh, what's the use?" with the issues in our eyes as we scoot to the bus stop. Listening to your playlist now. DIVINE

🥹 Um YES—total no brainer!

I’m so glad I could affirm why it’s important to tell YOUR version. It all matters.

And here’s to always having the best bumping beats wherever we’re going 💕💕💕
