NEW: I sat down with Greater Providence YMCA CEO Karen Santilli for her first interview since starting the job.
She spoke about growing the Y out of its COVID slump, "difficult decisions" ahead, & what drives her as a leader.
My latest for @RhodyBeat:

My heart is full of gratitude. Today’s ceremony was an incredible tribute to a life of service. I'm honored to play a small role helping @RCICaregiving to raise awareness of Mrs. Carter’s work on behalf of America's 53 million #caregivers. #ThankYouMrsCarter
There are 53 million #caregivers in America. Their stories are often unheard, their experiences isolating. Mrs. Carter was a champion for every single one of them. Today, we honor her memory and celebrate a life of service and compassion. #ThankYouMrsCarter
We're laughing because Mrs. Carter was meant to give a brief welcome. She had no plans to stick to the script. She had real policy change to discuss, because she never missed an opportunity to fight for #caregivers. We carry on at @RCICaregiving in her honor. #ThankYouMrsCarter
Long before she was first lady Rosalynn Carter’s passion for helping others started at a young age. In 1987, she was inspired to start the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers to help those who are helping others. https://t.co/XzFh8ymi1G
.@FLOTUS on passing of former first lady Rosalynn Carter: "She was well known for her efforts on mental health and caregiving and women's rights, so I hope that during the holidays, you'll include the Carter family in your prayers."
We are heartbroken by the loss of our founder, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter. She was a lifelong champion for #caregivers and will remain an inspiration to us all. #ThankYouMrsCarter
For those of us who love politics and government, and because we’ve seen the difference it makes when the good guys (or gals!) win…tonight is one of those nights that helps us keep the faith. Congratulations, @gabeamo. #TeamGabe
Even with so much great work happening across gender and climate, gaps still exist with data collection, training and funding. Interesting questions posed by @DataDotOrg to help the exchange of ideas. What are you reading? #UNGA#UNGA78
"The Sun Rise may not be in any danger yet, but Mayor Polisena has moved them closer to the cliff. Residents should know that. I hope the mayor will do the right thing" https://t.co/CRTFYCw1vn
I think it might be time for @KimKalunian to do a follow up on this piece --- now @gabeamo is going from the State House/White House to CONGRESS.
We're no longer under 30 (don't tell anyone...), but so proud to watch Gabe soar.

There’s nothing better than watching an incredibly talented, incredibly hardworking, and incredibly good human get elected to Congress.
Congratulations, @gabeamo, and in the words of @JoeBiden, “keep the faith” - good people in it for all the right reasons can get elected!

I’m a Pawtucket native and the son of two West African immigrants, one an @SEIU nurse and the other a liquor store owner.
I’m running for Congress to give back to the community that invested so much in me.

#DYK: Until September 2, 1963, nightly news was only 15 minutes long? 60 years ago #otd Walter Cronkite inaugurated the 1st half hour CBS Evening News broadcast with an interview with President Kennedy.
