My Thoughts on a Man Who Shouldn’t Be President by someone who's tired of surviving leaders like him This isn’t just politics for me. It’s personal. I’m a woman, a mother, someone who’s lived through loss, illness, struggle—and still wakes up every day trying to hold this country together for the people I love. And I know in my bones: He should not be president. Not again. Not ever. Because when he was president, it wasn’t strength we saw—it was cruelty. He let a pandemic rage while mocking the sick. He threw science out the window and turned public health into a battlefield. People I knew suffered. Some never recovered. And he just shrugged. He rolled back protections for LGBTQ+ youth, while pretending he was defending families. He banned trans kids from sports.

Yet Trump’s allies have pushed for expanded religious influence in public schools and government spaces. Faith should be a personal freedom, not a political tool. Policies that ...

As I put everything together, I realized how many unique and meaningful touches can turn a traditional event into something truly special—both for the graduate and the guests. One of my favorite ideas came from thinking outside the box when it came to the guest book. Instead of the usual blank book that often gets forgotten after the party, I decided to use something far more personal: Oh, The Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss. It’s a book I used to read to my child when they were little, and now it will hold the well-wishes and signatures from loved ones at their graduation party. I can’t wait to see that book filled with messages as they head into their next chapter—it already holds so much meaning, and now it will hold even more. Since I know there will be younger kids attending the celebration, I put together a special activity folder just for them. It in...
