“On the day that you were the angels got together and decided to create a dream come So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue” 💕 So grateful for my brother Denny! #joy #love ❤️
Words—they can lift up or tear down. I do not understand how anyone can use the R word as a joke, for a laugh, or to bully or hurt someone. Please join me on Spread the Word Day and everyday in helping to end the R word. Let’s stand up against derogatory language, bullying and exclusion. #ChooseToInclude 🩵
Rest In Peace Sweet Kendra. Thank you for the gift of your light, joy and friendship. Love you💜 🙏👼🏻 Hugs to you @davidquilleon and family and friends of Kendra.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays❤️ Hoping they are filled with special moments 🌲🙏❤️
Happy Easter from Denny and me💕
Thank you @carolinerhea4real for hosting such a beautiful Christmas party❤️ And thank you @camrynmanheim for taking this photo🥰 Love you ladies!!! 😘 #christmastime 🎄
Earlier this week, I called attention to Elon Musk’s use of the R-word, sharing a message about the harm of that language. I’m grateful that @momccormick7 helped amplify this conversation, bringing more awareness to why words matter. Here’s what I shared. 🙏 – Asking again, Mr. Elon Musk… As one of our country’s leading business figures, you have the opportunity to influence the hearts and minds of millions of people in this country and around the world. People with intellectual disabilities have suffered generations of discrimination and humiliation. They have been institutionalized, mocked, rejected by schools, denied healthcare, experimented upon and dehumanized. The injustice and indignities have led to unspeakable tragedy and loss of life. With cruel taunts and contemptuous labels—retard, moron, imbecile—this injustice has flourished. In the 21st century, they, together with their families and friends, are leading a battle for the simplest form of justice: the justice that comes with a recognition of their full humanity. Globally, changes in policy and practice have led to hopeful new opportunities and, perhaps most importantly, to a new dawn of dignity and joy. For these reasons, we invite you to meet with our athletes to understand their perspectives. They will surely ask you to end your use of the R-word and join them in building a future where dignity and welcome are the expectations of everyone in our great country. This is a teachable moment for our entire movement. May we ask you to join us now by using your great influence and position to help us continue to build a future of welcome for all?
You are the reason… my forever Valentine❤️ Wishing you all a beautiful Valentine’s Day! #love #valentine ❌⭕️

Today is #SpecialEducation Day. And it means so much to me. When my brother Denny was born, my father who was a school teacher became a #specialeducation teacher. He was passionate about fighting for the rights of people with intellectual disabilities. You are my hero Dad. Thank you for buttering Denny’s bread before your own. Thank you for fighting against bullying. Thank you for never giving up. Thank you for giving me the great gift of Denny and for teaching me about how special he is. I love you Dad. And to all the Special Education teachers out there… Thank you for what you do!!!!! #choosetoinclude #inclusion #purelove #love

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today and always. @mary_davis_specialolympics says so well : Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a champion of justice, inclusion, and equality. His powerful words remind us to reject hate and bigotry in all forms, including the use of hurtful language. Let us continue to embrace his vision of a world where every person is valued, respected, and included. #MLKDAY #MLK #ChooseToInclude #InclusionRevolution #Respect #Love ❤️
