View this post on Instagram "I can't win." "It's never good enough." These are defeatist narratives I am hearing from white people who are dipping their toes into speaking about race for the first time, and finding it to be complex and nuanced and maybe not as easy as they'd hoping. I'm talking about the aspects of privilege that are bubbling up in these kinds of statements, from our belief that black voices should be a . . .

Recovery mode | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009. We said goodbye to my nephews yesterday. We had such a great time with them. We are slowly recovering from our two-week run of hosting family. We showed them all the best sites in OC (pretty much a repeat of all of the places we took my sister). Then we spent a long weekend lazing around the pool in Palm Springs. It was so much fun, but now I'm dealing with a serious vacation hangover. Today I was determined to "get . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Meet Yahya!
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system.

That’s What SHE Said with R. Eric Thomas
I'm absolutely giddy to be talking with one of my favorite authors. R. Eric Thomas and I are talking about the weird world of writing on the internet, finding the balance between writing about humor and pop culture and also writing about social justice issues, and of course . . . our mutual love of the theater. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, and as we discussed how we've tried to engage people on issues of racial justice, little did we know it would soon be a national conversation. . . .

Last day for pre-order bonuses with Rage Against the Minivan
One of the bonuses for anyone who preorders my book is the chapter (booklet?) about parenting in a pandemic. It's longer than a chapter. I had a lot to say. I talk about the psychological effects, the startling shared experience of teaching our kids at home, and the continued need to let ourselves off the hook in this unique period in time. I'm sharing today because IT IS THE LAST DAY TO GET THIS. My book launches tomorrow, but if you buy it today, you get this chapter as a digital . . .
