As a neurodivergent Black woman raising a neurodivergent family, this representation hits home for me. Seeing autism reflected in toys for Black girls isn’t just about a Barbie—it’s about feeling seen, affirmed, and valued exactly as we are. 🤎

This may feel uncomfortable- but accuracy matters.

We owe kids the full context- shared in age appropriate, thoughtful ways. Honest history builds critical thinkers and safer, more informed classrooms.

Literacy is a crisis in America. Prioritizing the next gen, literacy skills must be a top focus area.

Parents please encourage your kids to read and let them see you reading too.

✨ Not every child dreads the end of break.

While many of us wish the holidays lasted longer, the truth is—
school breaks aren’t joyful for everyone.

For some kids, returning to the classroom or therapy room
means safety, routine, and relief.
For others, the break may have held stress, loss, or trauma.

As you step back into your spaces this week, pause.
Notice.
Lead with compassion.

Make room for all experiences.
Create spaces where all feelings are allowed.

And let every child know:

🤎 You are safe here.
🤎 You are supported.
🤎 You are seen.

Tis the season to be merry and inclusive!

This season, our bookshelf makes room for everyone. Sharing stories that reflect different holidays helps kids see themselves—and learn about others. Representation belongs on the shelf, all year long ✨
