Came across this hilarious text exchange with my dad. Must have been late at night. Damn I miss him.

Yesterday’s Voice Over class was one of those Academy moments we know we’ll remember for a very long time. Between the laughter, creativity, questions, and conversations, the room felt so full of joy and confidence. Thank you, Ellie Kemper, for spending time with our participants and making everyone feel so welcomed, encouraged, and celebrated. We absolutely loved having you at TEAFC 💙🧡

Throwback! Before she became a global superstar, a young fan snapped this photo with our beloved Ed Asner.

Can you guess who it is? Hint: she went on to become one of Hollywood’s biggest stars ⭐️

When I was a kid, I remember pulling this card out of a box of Raisin Bran and thinking, “Holy shit… that’s my dad.”

To this day, I still think it looks exactly like him. And every time I see it, I feel like a little kid again.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sparks outrage among disability rights advocates with recent comments alleging widespread fraud in Medicaid programs that pay people to care for elderly or disabled family members — a system millions of Americans rely on to survive. https://t.co/3D0NMZR53S

In Interview Readiness, our Academy students participate in full mock interviews through in-person rotations 🪑💬 Students help create the interview questions themselves and take turns interviewing while their peers watch via live stream and take notes on performance. This realistic yet supportive experience allows students to practice communication, build confidence through repetition, and learn that interviews are manageable—and something they can succeed in 🌱⭐️

Yesterday marked a very exciting milestone for our Academy program, our first visit to the Wildlife Learning Center, one of our new job training sites for the Spring semester.

Participants had the chance to meet some of the animals, explore the grounds, and hear about the opportunities they’ll be stepping into next semester. It was an inspiring day full of curiosity, learning, and excitement for what’s to come.

We can’t wait to see our students grow in this new environment! 🐾

I find it a tad disconcerting that I am being marketed drain cleaners on social media. Do they know something I don’t?

Today we celebrated Purim, a holiday that reminds us of courage, identity, and joy.

Our participants showed up in full costume, full personality, and full spirit. We baked and enjoyed homemade hamantaschen together and even hosted our own costume runway, where everyone had a chance to shine and be celebrated. Watching our community express themselves so freely and confidently is always the greatest celebration of all.

At The Ed Asner Family Center Academy, we believe in creating spaces where everyone feels seen, safe, and celebrated. Holidays like this are just one more way we bring that to life. 🎭💙
