We wanted a dopamine hit alternative to doomscrolling social media.

We wanted an advocacy resource library of template letters, rainy day kids activities, and tried & tested media recommendations.

We wanted a space to acknowledge our small accomplishments and take accountability for our failures.

We wanted to connect with like-minded progressive caregivers who could make space for us to talk through our challenges, reflect, and create a plan to move forward.

And we wanted an unserious place to get a little silly about it.

And you know what? We made it! We made the Luminary Braintrust, gathered it all into this portal, and this month we celebrate our 1-year anniversary off Facebook in this cozy jungle gym of activities and resources!

Thank you, friends, for joining me. We’ve created soooo much good stuff to share and support each other here.

What weird and wonderful things we will create in our second year together?

Vote in our Collab Lab – we’ve got the power to help you ignite kind and courageous leaders… but first we need to know what support looks like for you.
