Ruth Bader Ginsberg, born the same year as my mother, changed the world in ways that benefited women of my generation and younger. In the immediate aftermath of her death, I began writing a tribute. I kept thinking of her impact and how she and my own mother had so many similarities. I had students reach out to me, sharing their grief and their memories of reading about her together.
A friend had shared a link for these shoes that could be purchased at a discount if we placed a group order. I messaged about 10 friends and immediately had an order of 7 pairs.
They arrived today.
In the wake of yesterday’s shameful vote approving a new Supreme Court justice, who will NEVER replace RBG, I’m happy to have them.
I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.

I might not like how ACB has ruled on certain things, but I am horrified by the amount of people saying that her seven children are not being adequately parented and that they will suffer because of her job. This is from supposed feminists as well as men. I think that attitude is worse
First of all, I don’t think she deserves to be referred to as ACB as if she has anything to do with the status of RBG. If Amy Coney Barrett had any ethics, she would have requested the vote be delayed until after the election/inauguration.
I agree that questioning her parenting ability is beside the point but I am horrified and disgusted by the hypocrisy of the Republicans in the senate. I hope they lose their seats.
I don’t compare people. I shorten names. The minute people said something about her not being able to parent and have a job I was fed up with that hypocrisy. As a woman and a mother I was grossly offended. You don’t have to agree with me. But that’s my opinion

It took a while to get them but, but they’re nice and I’m not sure if I’ll wear them or just display them on a shelf. She meant a lot to me.
