This blog is my space to share the journey of leadership, community building, and the everyday moments that shape how we show up for one another. Whether I’m at a PTA meeting, a local election event, or a neighborhood gathering, I’ve learned that real change starts with connection. My work as an author, educator, and community advocate is rooted in the belief that every voice matters and every story can spark action.

The purpose of this blog is simple. I want to highlight the people, ideas, and experiences that inspire stronger schools, more informed families, and more inclusive communities. I’ll be sharing reflections from events, insights from my book Beyond the Bake Sale, and real examples of how parent leadership and civic engagement make a difference. My hope is that readers walk away feeling encouraged, informed, and empowered to lead in their own way—right where they are.
