”Last night, while waiting to board our plane, our daughter Carter was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man.
He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him.
He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks.
This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes.
Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends.
This is the world I want for her.
In a country that is so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.
Joseph from Samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you.
Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like.
Continue to shine your light in the world.”

"I only ask that you care before it’s too late,
That you live aware and awake,
That you lead with love in hours of hate."
At #UNGA, poet, activist & @unicef supporter @theamandagorman shared a powerful poem calling for urgent action to achieve the #GlobalGoals.
Also, we can't divorce the overturning of Roe v. Wade from the deliberate degrading of sex education in schools in many of these red states.
So many schools are graduating people who have little to no understanding of how women's bodies actually work.
