Currently re-watching it for joyful escapism!

I know what a big fan you are! You would have loved it. This was the inaugural event, so I’ll make sure you have the info for next year.

Today, the KC Chamber hosted the KC Current Kickoff Luncheon, and not even the weather could ice out this celebration of women’s sports and Kansas City’s undeniable momentum.

The Current’s season is about to kick off, and if today was any indication, Teal is rising stronger than ever!

Co-sign!

Enjoying a hot coffee on a cold morning as the Kansas City Public Safety Coalition gathers for its first meeting of 2025! The group is doing good work to promote safety for all Kansas Citians.

As former #SchoolPR - I'm eagerly awaiting the results of this roll call so I can follow back!

If you are looking for something to read today that will educate, inform and distract, might I suggest Frederick Douglass’ autobiography?

Today, of all days, I am letting Dr. King’s words remind me to love - to seek light in the darkness and not despair.

Just the impassioned delivery I needed to hear today! youtu.be/bitPep8Gjz8?...

My historian heart soared yesterday as an attendee at the Metropolitan Community College Chancellor’s MLK Jr. Scholarship Luncheon.

The keynote was Dr. Henry Louis Gates and his address was phenomenal - brought my book along “just in case”.

The event was a moving tribute to Dr. King’s legacy!

I don’t just love books but travel as well! Reflecting back to June and our epic trip to Ireland. These are just a few of the photos I captured. Enjoy!!

Mmmm… Irish butter and sourdough! Meal enough in itself.

Blizzard at my house! And it continues to snow heavier with strong wind gusts. The drifts make it hard to measure, but it’s the most I’ve seen in a long time here in Kansas City. Grateful to be able to stay home!

My favorite kind of entertainment: documentary watching! Bonus points if it involves history. True nerd TV at its finest. I’ll have to check that one out.

On the left, the book I’m reading with a reference to the Mithraic temple beneath the Basilica of San Clemente in Rome. On the right, the photo I took of said temple!

I’m such a nerd! Totally geeking out about a book reference that I have personally seen and experienced IRL.
