Just returned for 4 days in the wilderness with some youth who are at a high risk for gang involvement or are already involved. Amazing things happen when you take kids outdoors. Came back with 8 happy campers who got to put away their personas and affiliations and be KIDS.

Wishing everyone a great #ItalianHeritageMonth For me, this month highlights the contributions our people have given to this amazing country. Along with the countless sacrifices my grandparents made to come and build a wonderful life for us. May their memory live on.

Good morning. Finished Gang Prevention group with elementary kids. When I try to help them make sense of their life, my life makes sense to me. Gratitude: Always have it. Never expect it.🥣#Bblessed2day #gangprevention

Hurt people hear differently. The best part of getting back on your feet is knowing who not to walk with again. The real flex is choosing growth over comfort, discipline over procrastination, improving over impressing, and progress over perfection.💫#intervention #gangs #positive
