I ran an after-school sewing club with a couple of my teacher colleagues this school year. Our students created a community quilt. I’m so proud of them 🫶🏽.

“Transgender kids are not scary. Transgender people are not scary. They are not people that we should be afraid of. They are people who deserve to be treated with respect and dignity and love.”

Do yourself a favor and get a public library card‼️
Then sign up for an app called Libby where you can borrow thousands of audiobooks!

Your library card supports your local community, while it gives you access to resources and tools to get educated 📖💡
