Yes there is something truly humbling about your kids being proud of you. Like I thought I was supposed to be their cheerleader…..🥹

My colleagues surprised me by putting this in my office and changing my official nameplate on my office door to “Dr. Wendy Velez-Torres”

Lol. I am telling you something happens to them when they become grandparents. Like my kids get the”cool” grandma and I am like this is not the same person who raised me. Maybe they get abducted by aliens 👽 when they become grandparents and our real parents are on the mother ship🤣

The fact that is an annual event and new names keep being added every year, both saddens and angers me.

Their lives mattered. They had purpose. They should be here now.

Today I successfully defended my dissertation! As I was getting ready for my presentation my kids texted me:

“Morning Superstar! I am so proud of you!”

“Well, I hope you’ve do great mama. Well, I know you’re gonna do great.”

Excuse me, there is something in my eyes….🥹

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

We love you Amber! #FigureSkating #Olympics26

Accurate 100%

I was anemic for many years and it was exhausting. Iron pills work but they can be hard on the stomach . When you start to feel your levels going low( you will know the feeling), it is important that you eat something or take the iron pills when you feel it coming and not wait.

Somebody give Max some hair gel please! #FigureSkating #Olympics

Performative accessibility is just that …performative

We know what we saw. We know what we are seeing. We know what they are trying to do.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti.

“Please get the truth out about our son.”

Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, was killed by ICE while trying to protect a woman being assaulted.

Trump calls him a “monster” and “domestic terrorist.”

Trust your own eyes. Unlike Trump, the video doesn’t lie.

And expect us to buy the lie that he was dangerous and that they were afraid for their lives. It was six against 1.

Make it make sense…..

There is a distant difference. When something is digitally accessible, it can be navigated, used and enjoyed by everyone with or without assistive technology. Many EdTech tools fall short of the mark.

Saw a post on LinkedIn about EdTech tools with the headline “ A+ List for Accessibility “ and immediately cringed. First the poster they were sharing did not have good color contrast and several of the tools they shared have “accessibility features” but are not digitally accessible.

I think… a good first step.

Accessories in this pack can be used by any Barbie so that’s a win… hopefully they can follow up with a pack with just the accessories.

Fantastic to see Mattel are working with community groups like ASAN… Shame the reporting from guardian is very medical model focused

I think this is a big win because representation matters. Not perfect, but a great positive step.
