This is my son at dusk, bouncing a basketball on an empty court — the most ordinary thing in the world. He’s five years old and tall for his age. And I think about this a lot: somewhere out there, a tall Black boy with a ball gets read as older than he is, as a threat, as someone who should “know better.” He’s a baby. So the park, the backyard, the quiet moments when it’s just us — this is where I let him be little, where being tall simply means he can reach the hoop, where a kid with a bouncy ball is exactly what he is. I protect his innocence here so he has the security to handle the world out there. Both can be true at once. This Juneteenth, that’s the freedom I want for him: the freedom to just be a child.

Este es mi hijo al atardecer, botando una pelota en una cancha vacía — la cosa más normal del mundo. Tiene cinco años y es alto para su edad. Y pienso mucho en esto: allá afuera, a un niño negro y alto con una pelota lo ven como mayor de lo que es, como una amenaza, como alguien que “debería saber más.” Es un bebé. Por eso el parque, el patio, los momentos tranquilos cuando solo estamos nosotros — aquí es donde lo dejo ser pequeño, donde ser alto solo significa que alcanza la canasta, donde un niño con una pelota es exactamente lo que es. Protejo su inocencia aquí para que tenga la seguridad de enfrentar el mundo allá afuera. Las dos cosas pueden ser ciertas a la vez. Este Juneteenth, esa es la libertad que quiero para él: la libertad de simplemente ser niño. 🦁

My son is 5. He’s almost as tall as me — empathetic, sweet, uses words like “select” and “manage” — and still a baby who doesn’t always understand what just happened. But the world doesn’t always see a baby. There’s a name for that: adultification bias. Children of color, especially Black boys, get seen as older, less innocent, and more responsible than they are. It starts in preschool (teachers told to watch for “challenging behavior” watched Black boys most, before anything happened) and it follows them into courtrooms where “big” gets read as “scary.” This isn’t paranoia. It’s data. Believe Black parents the first time. 🦁

Mi hijo tiene 5 años. Es casi tan alto como yo — empático, dulce, usa palabras como “seleccionar” y “manejar” — y sigue siendo un bebé que no siempre entiende lo que acaba de pasar. Pero el mundo no siempre ve a un bebé. Eso tiene un nombre: sesgo de adultificación. A los niños de color, especialmente a los niños negros, se les ve como mayores, menos inocentes y más responsables de lo que son. Empieza en preescolar (a los maestros que debían buscar “conductas difíciles” observaron más a los niños negros, antes de que pasara nada) y los sigue hasta los tribunales, donde “grande” se interpreta como “peligroso”. Esto no es paranoia. Son datos. Crean a los padres negros la primera vez. 🦁

Update: $900 in so far. I won’t lie, that number means I get to breathe a little easier this month.Thank you to everyone...

Update: $900 in so far. I won’t lie, that number means I get to breathe a little easier this month.

Thank you to everyone who gave, and to everyone who shared even if you couldn’t. Both matter equally right now.

Still working toward $6,300 for July and August. If you haven’t yet, every $20 helps. And if you have — please keep sharing. That’s the thing that’s actually moving this.

We’re launching something new — Make It Make Sense: Behavior Edition 🦁 This is a series designed to take the tools behavior clinicians use every day and put them directly in your hands. No jargon, no $200 appointments, no gatekeeping. First topic: co-regulation. When your kid comes home dysregulated and nothing is landing, here’s what’s actually happening in their nervous system — and the 4-step move that works.

Estamos lanzando algo nuevo — Make It Make Sense: Behavior Edition 🦁 Esta es una serie diseñada para poner las herramientas que los clínicos de conducta usamos todos los días directamente en tus manos. Sin jerga, sin citas de $200, sin barreras. Primer tema: co-regulación. Cuando tu peque llega desregulado y nada funciona, aquí está lo que realmente pasa en su sistema nervioso — y el movimiento de 4 pasos que sí ayuda.

I've been off the grid for two years for reasons I'm only now talking about publicly.

Two strokes. Over 20 ER visits. Five hospitalizations. Two surgeries. Three concurrent medical workups that haven't resolved. I kept working through all of it — seeing clients, teaching, building an app from my living room — because the work matters and because asking for help has never been easy for me.

I'm on medical leave now. My body finally made the decision for me.

Nurturing Cubs is still live and free at nurturingcubsapp.org — bilingual evidence-based tools for parents and clinicians working with neurodivergent kids. I built it during all of this because the gap in the field is real and the families who need it can't wait for me to feel better.

If you've been wanting to help — ko-fi.com/nurturingcubs is where that goes. It's time-limited and specific. When it's met, it closes.

If you can't give, share it with one parent who needs free bilingual resources for their neurodivergent kid. That's enough.

Thank you for being in my corner even when I was too stubborn to let you know I needed one. 🦁

He estado desaparecida dos años por razones de las que recién ahora estoy hablando públicamente.

Dos derrames cerebrales. Más de 20 visitas a urgencias. Cinco hospitalizaciones. Dos cirugías. Tres evaluaciones médicas simultáneas que no han concluido. Seguí trabajando a través de todo — viendo clientes, enseñando, construyendo una aplicación desde mi sala — porque el trabajo importa y porque pedir ayuda nunca me ha sido fácil.

Estoy de incapacidad licensia médica ahora. Mi cuerpo finalmente tomó la decisión por mí.

Nurturing Cubs sigue activo y gratuito en nurturingcubsapp.org — herramientas bilingües basadas en evidencia para padres y clínicos que trabajan con niños neurodivergentes. Lo construí durante todo esto porque la brecha en el campo es real y las familias que lo necesitan no pueden esperar a que me sienta mejor.

Si han querido ayudar — ko-fi.com/nurturingcubs es donde va ese apoyo. Es una solicitud definida y con fecha de cierre. Cuando se cumpla, se cierra.

Si no pueden dar, compartan con un padre que necesite recursos bilingües gratuitos para su hijo neurodivergente. Con eso es suficiente.

Gracias por estar en mi esquina aunque fuera demasiado terca para dejarles saber que necesitaba una. 🦁
