I was a bit nervous to open our MIT event w/ the story of how my dad landed a job managing a production line at Chrysler w/ an 8th-grade education & self-taught engineering.

The response has been v encouraging--stories from our lives can be powerful.

I'm grateful to @BenChidaCA and @sonyachristian for joining us today to celebrate this milestone and set a vision for the path ahead. And I'm grateful to the many, many people who have been laying the foundation for our collaborative work across many years.

When @GavinNewsom announces that @CACradle2Career has accepted more than a billion data points in our first-ever data submission from our data partners, it's an exciting day!
We're breaking down silos and making data--that's already been collected--useful for the people

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

California's Cradle-to-Career Data System just began integrating over 1 billion data points — helping us equitably connect our education system to the workforce to ensure every Californian has the freedom to succeed.

Honored that @GavinNewsom highlighted @CACradle2Career in today's "Freedom to Succeed" Executive Order, which calls for a new Master Plan on Career Education. He called the tools outlined below a "Career Passport," and we're excited to partner on this. https://t.co/GmIBsrdDuq

[Robert Tagorda @RobertTagorda]

As the Governing Board Chair of @CACradle2Career, I’m grateful to @GavinNewsom for initiating a Master Plan for Career Education. The EO calls for building upon C2C “to develop and deploy tools that empower all Californians—from high school to retirement.” https://t.co/2QKVD2KOQK

Remembering my dear friend, “the mother” of the disability rights movement and civil rights advocate, @JudithHeumann. I am grateful to have learned from, and been challenged by her at the @FordFoundation. Her service continues to inspire us as we work towards authentic inclusion.

Some personal news:
we have eaten the last of the 25 lbs sack of dry black beans we purchased in March of 2020
