A deeply sad and tragic loss of a true community champion. Thoughts are with Heather's family, colleagues and many friends.

Delightful time watching my gorgeous girl and fellow DC dancers annual show. Pay attention to the youth: talent, inclusivity, effort, dedication, power. Great way to forget the world's shenanigans

Introverts don't lack social skills, they're just not interested. They can talk. But not with everyone. They can read you like a book. They can tell you more about you than yourself. But they need the right mood, the right place, the right vibe, the right person. Then, they talk.

Great Black History month roundtable discussion today with our Trustees @abigailmashall, Iwi and Sue. Inspiring information shared with @Touchstone_Spt staff on how to succeed in an unequal and unfair society. Be collectively strong and never give up fighting the evil of racism.
