This picture came up in my memories today. Years ago, I celebrated earning my doctorate from @USC with a young Jeremiah by my side. Now, I’ve had the blessing of watching that same little boy graduate from @UTAustin Moody Honors Program. Life comes full circle. Legacy matters.

Honored to speak on the national stage at #HOPE2026. Together with student parents, educators, and national leaders, we are building shared strategies to advance education and economic mobility for families nationwide.
