It was an immense privilege and honor to travel to Washington D.C. to be a part of the launch of Changing Minds, a new campaign that empowers adults to support children who have trauma and violence in their homes. The science behind this program is fascinating—the toxic stress released in the developing brain can create permanent adverse affects. But teachers, librarians, couches, counselors, lunch ladies—anyone working with children can help change that course with five daily gestures.
∙ Celebrate
∙ Comfort
∙ Collaborate
∙ Listen
∙ Inspire
You can literally change their minds.
I shared stories of my childhood and told tales of the teachers who made an immense difference in my life.
Changing Minds is a partnership between The United States Department of Justice, Ad Council and Futures Without Violence. I am so humbled that they invited me.

And former Attorney General Eric Holder was every bit as kind as you would imagine.
