Hunger affects every community – but it doesn't affect everyone equally. Some communities face hunger at much higher rates. DYK: 1 in 3 households with an adult unable to work due to a disability is at risk of hunger. #IDPWD2021 pic.twitter.com/OUTLjEncO6

It’s often thought that #breastcancer only affects women over 40, but that’s not the case. It is rare in young women, but it does happen. Tune in to the latest episode of Real Pink to hear Hannah Hancock share her story of being diagnosed at age 22. https://t.co/jqKvhxDBiM pic.twitter.com/ybGhC5KpeV

In the last year (or two?) we’ve hunkered down, faced fears, and reclaimed an empowered sense of what matters most. We’ve explored fun [material] topics and showcased content creators contributing to progressive shifts within our societal construct (including homelessness, women’s rights, and climate change).
All of which has fortified my belief that there is power in substantive storytelling.
Until Next Year,
Cheers
