I’ve just completed #TheSharkSwim 🏊‍♂️🦈📣

12 days and 59 miles around the island of Martha’s Vineyard, where Jaws was filmed 50 years ago.

It's been one of the toughest swims of my life. Cold water, relentless wind, big waves and the constant thought of what might be beneath me.

But I swam here for a reason 👇

Jaws has shaped our perception of sharks as vindictive killers. That fear spread across the globe and lasted for half a century.

Now it’s time to change the narrative for a new generation.

Sharks are not monsters. They’re magnificent. They’re essential. And they’re seriously endangered.

As apex predators, they keep the ocean in balance. Take them out, and the entire ecosystem starts to collapse.

Right now, sharks need us.

An estimated 274,000 sharks are killed every single day. It’s an ecocide taking place right now, and we must stop it.

Please help share this message 🙏

I believe students desperately long for genuine community—an experience with people marked by depth, trust and transparency.

Change comes from telling the truth, not telling people what they want to hear.

Today, let us remember that we were made for one another. Enough is enough. Let’s connect to these wise words from Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s 1984 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech and bless the human family with loving kindness. ❤️✌️🙏👩🏿‍🤝‍👨🏼👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏿

When I imagined the end of days, I didn't think it would involve sitting in self-isolation, counting squares of toilet paper and checking the loadshedding schedule by candlelight while a virus eats my retirement annuity.
