Who’s under the mask? Tricks, treats, and the real monsters among us

Tuesday, October 28, 2025

I say this because I’ve seen it with my own eyes: a line of people in ski masks on Main Street, holding signs telling others to “go back to where you came from,” “no gays allowed,” “we hate Jews” – and the list goes on. Is that their “trick”? To show up, hide their faces, and try to scare people with their hate? Because, honestly, it looks less like a trick and more like cowardice dressed up as protest.

Unlock a world of hidden histories: Empowering our kids with diverse leaders and untold stories

Tuesday, September 9, 2025

Fellow parents, have you noticed that some parts of Black history seem to be missing from your child’s education? It’s crucial that we take action and fill in the gaps left by traditional schooling.

Back-to-school crisis: Are New Hampshire students getting the support they deserve?

Friday, August 29, 2025

As families across New Hampshire settle into the new school year, one crisis continues to loom — and it doesn’t wait for the first bell. Cuts to mental health programs and special education supports are leaving students without the help they need – and that affects every child, every classroom and every family.

This side of the glass: The power of being real when we need help the most

Being off work lately gave me time to really think, to feel. And what I realized in that space is this: I was made to help people.

Interracial relationships & mixed kids: What people won’t say out loud

Monday, August 18, 2025Monday, August 18, 2025

I see interracial relationships more often in the South than in the city. In places like New York, where different cultures blend every day, people don’t always stop to notice who’s dating who. But in the South, or in places where diversity isn’t as deeply woven into everyday life, people seem to pay more attention, especially when a child is involved. That’s when opinions start coming out, whether welcomed or not.

How Culture Amp can help build a better workplace – or at least I think so

Monday, July 28, 2025Monday, July 28, 2025

Let’s be real – some workplaces just don’t feel good. You can sense it the moment you walk in (been there before.) Employees are checked out, leadership is disconnected, and meetings feel more like a waste of time than a space for collaboration. I’ve been in meetings that felt like they were designed for the people running them, not for the people attending. They weren’t balanced, they weren’t brain-friendly, and they didn’t leave room for real discussion.

From crisis to handcuffs: Why are police arresting instead of helping the mentally ill?

Monday, July 14, 2025Monday, July 14, 2025

Mental illness isn’t a crime, but too often, law enforcement treats it like one.

Instead of swallowing it, she snorted it, which led to paranoia and psychotic behavior. As she became increasingly agitated, officers repeatedly questioned her instead of calling for mental health professionals. The longer they delayed, the worse she got, ultimately spitting at them out of distress.
