Back in October when things got really bad with ICE in Chicago, I was inspired by to start a morning rush hour protest in my neighborhood. My kids and neighbors got involved, and we used our collective voices to demand dignity, due process, and compassion for all people.
What has happened since then is even more horrific and devastating than I could imagine. For those of us with any degree of empathy and respect for our fellow humans, it is completely overwhelming.
So each day I teach my children about kindness and inclusion, love and compassion. My work as a speech therapist focuses on connection, joy, and communication, reassuring kids about their safety and security and ensuring they have a means of communicating. There is a lot of work to be done, but we all play a role in making this world better. 💔
