Happy 24th birthday to my daughter, Jasmine. Jazzie, 24 years ago you came into our world. I still can’t believe God chose me to be your mother. Thank you for being my light in the darkness, the best big sister to your brother and the best gift I have ever received. I am so proud of you.

Visited the new National Geographic Museum of Exploration in DC. As someone who works in digital accessibility, I notice accessibility everywhere. This museum impressed me. 8.9/10 for accessibility-thoughtfully designed, and inclusive. #AllMeansAll moe.nationalgeographic.org/en/visit/acc...

A #Bbt26 day!🏆 Honored to join my colleagues Annie Torres and Dr. Dionne Curbeam in accepting the 2026 Blackboard Catalyst Award for Innovation in Accessibility on behalf of Coppin State University's IDEA Team. Having my mom and daughter there to share the moment made it even more special.
