There is no organization that has my heart quite like this one. We have evolved so much from that first conference I attended, but we still have so much more growing that I am excited to be present for. Thank you to everyone this week who co-planned with me, empathized, chatted, (wrong! 3/4)

Thoroughly enjoyed Day 1 of #ACEDHH2025 even though I'm running on fumes, sleep-wise. So grateful for the incredible presenters sharing their work with us all this week!

Anyone have any good news to share? My mental state could really use it.
