Precisely why I’m here. Mom of four boys. We have such an opportunity with this generation. We have more language about emotion, sensitivity, nurture, patriarchy and toxic masculinity than ever. All the stuff is on the table—and just like on the ball fields—they are listening. We need to use this language carefully and deliberately, as you are. We need to make the teachers and the coaches and the mothers and the fathers speak with love and strength and nurture. We’ll get there. I do believe we will. My deepest deepest thanks.

Thank you so much, Isabel! I have faith we will get there, too!
