Thank God these children found a viable educational option. @YouthBuildPHL is doing what their previous schools couldn’t do. There are many young people with many stories. We need many options to address their many needs. https://t.co/Wwoz9Cmpnq

My husband and I went to a dog adoption event with our older son and his girlfriend, who were volunteering there. We were NOT going to adopt another dog. Absolutely, positively NOT. Meet our new 3-month-old puppy (a rescue from PR). She adopted us, lol. Any ideas for a name? 🐶

Consider the following. Only 2% of all surgeons are Black man. That’s a crazy low number, right? But, you could argue that it takes lots of degrees and skills to be a surgeon. Then I tell you that only 1.4% of all teachers are Black men…. #themoreyouknow
