Hard to express my joy and gratitude right now as I completed my Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree at Oxford. I don’t know what’s ahead. For now, it will be Netflix, reading and sleep. 😴

Today reminds us that progress might be slow. It might take decades. But no matter what things might look like today, it’s always possible. Happy Pride month, everybody.

If you believe in a more just, more generous, more democratic America, now is the time to fight for it. Here’s a terrific way to register voters, organize communities, and ramp up turnout in the battleground states that will decide this election: https://t.co/FmN8RCJymg

Ten-year-old Muna shares how she is coping with the #COVID19 outbreak. She is one of around 1.7 million internally displaced children in Yemen. @UNICEF has been scaling up life-saving support across the country. https://t.co/0VfjFU6nDN

Mother’s Day isn’t always joyous. I’m lucky to be with my children, but hate that I can’t visit my Mom, who is in a care facility & doesn’t understand why I call instead of visiting. Whatever challenges you face today, I hope you find care & compassion for yourself & happiness.

Here’s to all the amazing women in our lives who care for us, guide us, and love us unconditionally. Let’s take today to appreciate their strength, sacrifice, and support. #happymothersday

Now, more than ever, we see the importance of teachers in our world. They guide us, motivate us, and inspire us to become who we are. Take #TeacherAppreciationWeek to remember the amazing teachers in your life who have reminded you of your strengths. Thank you teachers!

As cases of coronavirus increase, so do cases of child abuse. In times like these, children fell more isolated, especially without the outside support from teachers and counselors. Your support and awareness is especially crucial in saving the lives of neglected children. ⁣

Hey Everyone! From Rising Readers, we just wanted to make an announcement that we are not collecting books or donating at this time. We know how difficult this time must be for everyone, and urge you to continue reading. Stay safe, and know that we are all in this together!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It’s World Health Day, and we owe a profound debt of gratitude to all our medical professionals. They’re still giving their all for us every day, at great risk to themselves, and we can’t thank them enough for their bravery and their service.

If you’re wondering whether it’s an overreaction to cancel large gatherings and public events (and I love basketball), here’s a useful primer as to why these measures can slow the spread of the virus and save lives. We have to look out for each other. https://t.co/Ld7Uc8sPTQ

Happy #WomenInScience Day! 👩‍🔬👩‍🚀 Let’s smash stereotypes, defy gender bias and defeat discrimination that holds women and girls back in Science, Tech, Engineering and Math.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Thirty years on, I remember the hope we all felt watching Mandela’s release from prison. The gift of a new way of seeing. The chance to participate in the work of building a better world. The ultimate example of perseverance and faith for each new generation to follow.
