Riya Jain, a @ChiPubSchools 8th-grader, struggled to find a kid-friendly resource that explained the COVID-19 crisis. Knowing others had this challenge too, Riya worked w/ doctors & an illustrator to create a book for kids about coronavirus.

I can say personally that you walk the walk with this. Thank you for all you've done for me!

Over time, your accomplishments hinge less on your innate intelligence and more on your earned wisdom.

Invest in the next generation. Share the knowledge and skills you've gained. Be an instructor, not just an innovator.

@CillizzaCNN @gg521 An amazing week for the #foodallergy community... and an example of what happens when people tirelessly work together to advocate for all! Thank you @gg521. You inspire me.

[Red Sneakers for Oakley @oakley_red]

This 6th grader decided to do something about the food allergy risks faced by students at school. He got allergy emergency kits installed. What an amazing role model and advocate. See his story and be inspired.
