    Remembering Robb Elementary

    We Were deeply saddened by the deaths of 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary on May 24, 2022. In this episode, Tyler and Tara discuss the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation's initiatives for making the United States of America a better and safer place for our children. We also reflect on the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the tremendous unity of communities, businesses, Congress, and the President that were the catalysts to pass this legislation. Our hope is that the people of this great nation will once again come together to have true conversations that will result in unity to protect our children, who are some of the most vulnerable among us We would like to express our gratitude for and support of the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation.

    Attempting a Family Book Discussion

    In Episode Nine, Tara and Tyler are joined by their children to read and discuss (sort of) the children's book All the Way to the Top by Annette Bay Pimentel. It tells the story of the youngest disability rights advocate in the United States of America, Jenifer Keelan-Chaffins. We decided to post this episode with very few edits. We did not have a particularly profound discussion, but we did have a good time and a lot of laughs!
