My latest short film is screening at Virginia Film Festival online, Oct. 21-25. Tickets are $8. Culture and color clash in this story about safety, diversity, and love. Enjoy! @scottmpetri @carmelhealth @OharaKimiko @ImaginationLdn @adawson810 @mr_hayes https://t.co/PzDoKehE4B

Health Ed teachers? Wondering about how to support students applying empathy as a tool for creating a more equitable world? My recent article might be a good jumping off point for discussion! @carmelhealth @OharaKimiko @adawson810 https://t.co/c1V3rcibfO

Growing up I faced many struggles. Losing a parent, being afraid of exposing my sexuality, & feeling “out of place” made me a lost and angry child. Instead of asking how to help, teachers just kicked me out or scorned me. As educators, we MUST do better, we must have #empathy !!

[Kristin Stuart Valdes @kpsvaldes]

At last night's DNC @MichelleObama talked in broad terms about empathy. To learn more about how to apply empathy to fight bias and build equity check out my article for @ImaginationLdn where I reference the work of @VanJones68 @DrHoward_RECAST and others. https://t.co/c1V3rcibfO
