Congratulations to Oscar winner Ariana DeBose! Her acceptance speech was amazing! “You see an openly queer woman of color, an Afro-Latina, who found her strength and life through art. So if anyone has questioned your identity, I promise you this - there is indeed a place for us.” So beautiful!

Check out our March blogpost, “What does it mean

Check out our March blogpost, “What does it mean to identify as Non-Binary?” We know that Non-Binary can mean different things to different people. For some, being non-binary means that they don’t identify as exclusively male or female. Other non-binary people may have a fluctuating gender identity or identify as nongender. If a child identifies as non-binary, parents should follow their child’s lead and demonstrate affirmative, unconditional love and support. To read this month’s post, link in bio.

Ride, Sally Ride! Born on May 26, 1951, Sally Ride rocketed her way into history as the first American woman in space. In 1977 Ride was completing a doctorate in physics when she applied for and received a coveted position at NASA. She helped build the robotic arm for the Challenger shuttle and operated it during her historic 1983 flight. 250,000 people watched the Challenger launch from Cape Canaveral, and many more tuned in at home. Ride’s six days in space had an enduring impact. The millions of young girls watching the flight, according to Gloria Steinem, saw that they too could become “astronauts, heroes, explorers, and scientists.”
Her partner accepted a posthumous medal of honor on her behalf.
