That was a truly inspiring weekend, unfortunately my sinuses and eyes decided to fail me, so I’ll have to unpack it later. Lots to unpack, like my suitcase. May take a while. Brewing a blogpost for the near future, all being well. melodykayyoung.wixsite.com/website

Had a blast in Columbus with public education warriors during #NPE2025Columbus! Of course, I had to find an African restaurant and Columbus did not disappoint.

Hangin’ with Randi Weingarten and Tim Walz. Double dose of inspiration.

@governorwalz.mn.gov Funny, humble, kind & telling it like it is "When a big part of your class isn't getting it, it's time to differentiate our approach." #NPE2025Columbus @npeaction.bsky.social "I'm preaching to the choir & the choir needs to sing louder"

Avoid the words "I told you so". There's something shifting, Hope over Fear, Community over Chaos, Be the teacher, Be the activist, We won't be bullied into silence #NPE2025Columbus @npeaction.bsky.social @rweingarten.bsky.social

If you’re truly proud of your country, you tell the truth about it. The good, the bad and the ugly.
