In a screenshot of a Facebook post 4 years ago, I am looking at the camera showing off a bandaid from my second ever COVID vaccine. The caption I wrote at the time says “capping off an emotional week with my second Moderna vaccine. Feeling hopeful and thankful and committed to ensuring this miraculous intervention is available to all.”

Four years ago today (the reality of what followed that joyful post - then and now - is heavy).

He did a kid’s summer basketball camp in Albuquerque every year, and the defensive drills were unbelievable. I still have a pair of shoes he signed for me when I was in middle school.

EVER 💛💙

Our best hack is frozen latkes from Trader Joe’s 😂 (never going back)

There is a pink and orange sunrise over Mass Ave in Boston. There is some snow and slush on the street and puddles reflecting the color of the sky.

What’s killing kids? Trauma, drugs and firearms.

Two rows of teens and adults smile at the camera. There is an American flag behind them on the left and a red Brown University banner behind on the right.

A week ago already?! A very good day at work at @brownpublichealth.bsky.social listening to youth and other experts weigh in on mental health, social media, and where we go from here.

Four people stand outside on the grass smiling at the camera, I’m on the left in black next to my younger daughter in a white dress and sneakers and curly brown hair. On her other side is her older sister in a coral dress and sneakers and brown curly hair, followed by my husband who is wearing a blue button up shirt and jeans
