BEAUTIFUL. DAY.
Respect, empathy, engagement, opportunity, LOVE. @SantaAnaUSD is doing it right. Cherished this time w/former colleagues, friends, & mentors.

We are in the, "reclamation of intimacy." May we, "love ourselves as ourselves."

Thank you @HBUHSD for hosting OCMAA at the beautiful auditorium of @HB_APA

I always look forward to learning from our @Arts4Oc collective. Today, we focused on our inclusive practices in the Arts, learned more about APA's facilities and programs, and collaborated around Prop 28.

I was able to read to 4th grade @ Lomarena today for their annual Community Read In! And I had THE BEST Peer Assisted Leader escort me around the school, my oldest kiddo ❤️
I shared w/them all art forms should be celebrated, especially contributions to our diverse representation.

14th Annual Creative Edge Lecture: Author, poet, and thought leader @ninaksimon activated the room around regeneration & the processes we must establish to materialize progress.

Thank you, Nina, for time to reflect on how we hone in on key ideals, unlearn, & revamp our systems!

The @NovakEducation Katie Novak event at Seasons 52 for @ACSAXVII was 🔥
I don't think I can quantify just how much I LOVE her. Inspirational, powerful, AUTHENTIC, and INTENTIONAL.

Thank you for spreading the inclusive beauty that is UDL with the administrators present tonight!

I had the privilege of speaking on an arts education leadership panel today with an esteemed group of colleagues. OCDE's first College & Career "Pathways in the Arts" event and we were able to share inspo with current high school students ❤️

@TweetsNoelle @artfulartsyamy @RudyChem A friend of mine did a photography series called "Paint Monsters" where she took macros of the characters created when paint reacted to sound (she placed the paint on a flat surface on top of a speaker). I have a few in our house.
