My guest podcast debut! Talking about my #EWBUSA work, equity/power for communities served, and a few closing words on my hope for the future of the engineering industry.
Thanks @DTM1993 for having me on the #WaterValues pod! thewatervalues.com/2019/12/0… – at Brooklyn, NY

That one of the great tragedies of life is the paradox of wisdom and age. As you become wiser about life and the world, you have less time to apply it yourself. So you try to pass it down, but some things just can't be heard in youth. It only comes through the experience of living. And then the cycle repeats: you remember that someone tried to give you some gems and you didn't listen, so you try to do the same. It's a somewhat cruel time loop of sorts, and I ponder over the design sometimes.

"I can’t ever recall my parents demanding that we read. The library just had to exist and be available so that we could use it whenever we wanted." @_Zeets plough.com/en/topics/life/pa…

as expected, the court has inverted the 14th. an amendment written explicitly to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy becomes in conservative hands an amendment that says it’s illegal to try to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy
The Supreme Court has ruled on affirmative action. Per Amy Howe of @SCOTUSblog, "The court holds that Harvard and UNC's admissions programs violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment."

"The usage of the library also changed for me. Where I didn’t pay too much attention to the books before, they then became my primary concern – " @_Zeets plough.com/en/topics/life/pa…

Our 8th annual #ImagineADayWithoutWater nat'l day of action is happening Oct. 20! For many Americans, living a day without H2O is a harsh reality, not something to be imagined. Together, we can achieve safe, affordable, sustainable water. For everyone. /1
