Building Communities with Kindness

I had a fun day reconnecting with former students who have now become colleagues and collaborators. How cool! Their energy, willingness to teach me new things about technical writing and videos, and kindness have always been evident despite communicating only every couple of months. Kindness! That’s why when I saw Dr. Mica Estrada’s SABER talk […]
