When I see this photo I just want to give this younger version of me a hug and say it’s going to be ok. Growing up I didn’t know I had dyslexia. It made reading so difficult which made me feel really behind the other kids. To be blunt, I was scared. Later, my community college professor changed the trajectory of my life by getting me tested for dyslexia. Nothing was the same after that — I learned how to learn — and I’m forever grateful. Today is #WorldBookDay and I’m so happy I get to celebrate my love of reading AND writing. Don’t get me wrong, my spelling is so bad even spell check doesn’t know what I’m trying to write sometimes. BUT, if the little girl in this picture knew she’d be writing a children’s book, she would never have believed it. I hope The Fly Who Flew To Space will inspire kids to chase their dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem. 🚀

What an incredibly emotional and uplifting evening with our newest Bezos Courage and Civility Award recipients. Eva Longoria is such an inspiration. She once said superheroes and even everyday heroes don’t often look like her father, or sound like her Tio – her uncle. But they can and they should. Growing up as a little girl in Corpus Christi, her philanthropy started small. Over the years through her work with Eva’s Heroes, the Eva Longoria Foundation and other organizations, she has championed those with special needs and the Latina community which is at the heart of her work. Through her programs on mentorship, leadership, robotics and focus on entrepreneurship, Eva has championed Latinas and continues to do so as a storyteller.
Eva, you know what, it turns out, superheroes look like you. Jeff and I are so excited to see what you do next.

Every flight teaches me to embrace the journey and stay resilient. The sky isn’t the limit; it’s just the beginning. 🚁

I love the ocean. Whether I’m flying above it through a magical rainbow (swipe to see 🌈) or standing along its shore. Oceans cover 71% of our planet, and they’re vital to our ecosystem. We must cherish and protect them. I’m so proud to support ocean conservation through the @bezosearthfund . #WorldOceansDay 🌊

✨ What a night! Our living room buzzed with excitement as @bariweiss and @jonathanhaidt tackled the hot topics from his #1 New York Times bestseller, *The Anxious Generation*. Parents, leaders, activists, teachers showed up eager to uncover what’s really going on with our kids since smartphones and social media have taken over.
Jon’s deep dive into Gen Z’s psyche—from the endless social media scroll to helicopter parenting—had us all hooked. 🚁📱 The mental health crisis facing our kids is real and urgent.
But amidst the shock came hope - and tangible actions that every one of us can take. Jon assured us that change is possible - within a couple years — but only if we act together.
A heartfelt thank you to Jon and everyone who joined this vital conversation. Grab his book, get involved, and let’s shape a brighter future for our kids, grandkids, and all of us. 🌟
