As someone who has been in both the creative and the client roles, I know just how important feedback is to getting a project right. Here's a few tips I wrote for @Comms4Kids about giving great feedback on a creative project. ✏️ https://t.co/RxX6EnBGBR

There are just some things you take for granted growing up in the U.S., like fire alarms. But, what if you grew up in a refugee camp without a stove let alone a fire alarm? @RestoreDignityO and @neiaredcross help: https://t.co/jgIhyMe9Ud

Did you know that there was a historic typhoon last fall in Alaska?

I'll be honest, I didn't until I talked with a @RedCross volunteer to learn about the damage and how they are working to rebuild indigenous communities: https://t.co/vUFlKI34jz

[Ashley Peterson-DeLuca @AshleyPDeLuca]

Volunteering with the Red Cross doesn't feel like work. It is an absolute joy and privilege to capture the stories of the amazing volunteers and staff who dedicate their time to helping others.

She is a truly an example of turning what could be a negative into her mission.

[Nebraska/SW Iowa Red Cross @neiaredcross]

Dajia dedicates her time to advocacy and educating on the significant need for diverse blood donors. There are not enough blood donors to meet the urgent need for blood for patients like her, and she hopes her story will change that. #TeamUp4SickleCell

@Comms4Kids Also - Communications professionals may be grieving when asked to make a tough, strategic question. A little preparation can make coming to a good decision a bit easier!

[Forthright Advising @Comms4Kids]

From tragic mass shootings to overturning Roe to a white supremacy insurrection in DC, when big news breaks, when is it time for child & family advocates to speak out or step back? How can we do this thoughtfully?

Happy birthday, Forthright friends!

I reached a milestone today -- my freelance website is live!

I filed my LLC with the state way back in 2017. In 2020 I decided to make it my full-time work. And, now a year later, I'm finally creating a digital footprint!

The U.S. is experiencing a blood supply shortage, putting lives like 6-year-old Abe's at risk. Through the @RedCross, I talked with his mom about what this means to their family: https://t.co/NsP3zabWZe
