Our Ember is a dessert fanatic. She is obsessed just like Neil. ☺️Her school gives them a dessert with lunch on Friday's so she is always super excited when the end of the week rolls around. A couple weeks ago, they had a snow day on Friday. At home, she was saying how sad she was to go the whole week and then miss dessert. How she wished they could have it on Monday instead and why can't there be a dessert at least once a week on whichever day. I suggested that she write them a letter and start a petition telling them how she felt. That she made some great points and that I bet many students would agree with her. Especially in these times, when school hasn't been the same and the students have had to deal with so much, these little things matter more.So she worked really hard on writing a letter that included several points to support her wish. I wrote to her teacher and asked if it was ok for her to present it to the class and she wholeheartedly was on board. Ember is quite shy about speaking in front of people so we practiced and practiced until she felt ready. Her teacher told me she did a great job making her case and all the students agreed and signed the petition. Some of her classmates even helped make posters to put around the school for other classes to sign as well. Her efforts made it up to the chef who loved it and agreed but she said they had to get the principal's approval.So then they crafted another letter and two classmates and her waited patiently until they could finally make their case to the principal. He approved and was so impressed at how they used their voices. 💪🏽🤸🏽I adore this school and all that they champion. I am so thankful to the teachers and educators who make space to support and guide these important lessons. In these ever difficult times, to recognize these moments and support our children in this way is so wonderful. 🙌🏽I hope she never forgets how she used her voice to make a change and that is the first of much more. 🙏🏽I'm so proud of my little 2nd grader. ❤️#raisingleadersps. the whole school got dessert!#teachers #itsthelittlethings ...

I wrote Bravo Anjali! so that our kids could see they were limitless. So that they would never dim their light. When the book came out, I was inundated with story after story about experiences across the board that folks connected to the book. So I decided to celebrate those who were trailblazing and redefining 'normal.' Those who defied gender norms, cultural norms, and more to live the life they wanted. So grateful to The Conscious Kid] who shared this vision and partnered with me to bring these stories to life. Much love to @shrutirya and the honto88] team who put so much heart into these videos. Join us next week as the first one on the badass Jennifer King] , the first female coach in the NFL, premieres. 💫🙌🏽Posted @withregram • The Conscious Kid] We are so excited to announce a short form digital animated series, BRAVO!, featuring dynamic voices defying gender norms. We partnered with Creator/EP and author, @beneaththesheetz and honto88] to tell the stories of trailblazers who are breaking barriers and redefining norms. Starting next Tuesday, January 18th, we will be releasing videos showcasing stories about Jennifer King] (first Black woman coach in the NFL), @Parshwanath_upadhye (Indian classical Bharatnatyam dancer), and @teach_finn (elementary school teacher/activist). They have all broken the mold and will be sure to inspire you and your family. Great videos to show your children and classrooms to remember that we are all limitless and capable of anything. See you next week! ... See MoreSee Less

2021 was full of tremendous challenge and heartbreak for so many of us. Reflecting on work highlights that I am proud of, especially when times are so hard. To get anything done is a feat. Bravo Anjali! debuted as a #1 New Release over 2 categories on Amazon for almost a month (!). Anjali FINALLY became a part of the @scholasticbookfairs /Club zeitgeist. Always Anjali was named as one of the best books about kindness in @parents Magazine and Bravo Anjali! was named one of the best books of the year by several outlets. Humbled that @theconsciouskid , one of my favorites, partnered with @padmalakshmi to highlight Always Anjali. 😍🙌🏽SCHOOL VISITS! So many virtual and in person - summer and fall events where I could actually meet our brightest! 💫@illmeetyoutherethefilm , a film I loved being a part of, an official selection at @sxsw , premiered this year. Proud of this film's team and it's leader, @irampbilalofficial, who never stopped fighting to bring it to the masses. 👊🏽Making Happy, my most personal book to date, was announced and will be coming to you next fall from @barefootbooks. As well as ANJALI #3!! @mangoandmarigoldpress Formalized the work I do in getting inclusive books to the underserved with an official 501c3, @1001diversebooks - please donate if you can...no amount is too small and we are putting 100% of the donations to the work. 🙏🏽My work with @equalitynoworg, @saya.nyc, @ngsfoundation, @saforamerica, @whitehouse and so many more who are truly fighting the good fight. 💪🏽❤️Sooooo many conversations and interviews and articles and non profit championing. Thankful to everyone who continues to uplift..and to all that I have spoken to- I have learned so much and am grateful for your time and hearts. 🙏🏽So much love to those who support in the ways that truly touch my heart. And do so without me having to nudge. Sharing my work publicly and privately, getting books for your local schools and libraries, leaving reviews, sending letters, messages and videos …means more than you know. And there is a lot brewing that I can't talk about yet- 2022, here we come. 🤸🏽🙏🏽❤️ps. FUCKCANCER ... See MoreSee Less
