#MyDiatribe
This young man deserves a shout-out!
I have had the honor of working with tens of thousands of students, but this human right here is truly a rare breed.
Last week at one of our school assemblies with the_diatribe I started off by apologizing if I was off my game.
I was shaky, I had slept in a hospital bed beside by fiancé who just had a bilateral mastectomy (in April was diagnosed with stage 3B breast cancer), and I was running on barely 3 hours of sleep.
I shared a poem I had written about where I was at mentally, and the difficulty of juggling life while trying to be a present loved one for the person I care about most.
After this assembly a young man said “Can I talk with you?” I of course said “absolutely”. This young man’s name is Isiah.
Isiah: “Mr. Fable. Can I give you a gift?”
Me: “What is your name my friend? Also, you don’t have to give me anything.” Isiah: *Pulls out a metal band from his pocket* “I really appreciate you sharing your story, and I hope your fiancé gets better. I want to give you this bracelet. My grandma was like my mother and was diagnosed with cancer when I was really little. This bracelet kept me strong, and I want to give it to you so that you remember to be strong. I know she is going to beat this, but because you talk to a lot of people, I hope that when she does beat this and you meet someone else that needs strength - you will give this to them to remind other people to be strong too”
At this point I am crying my eyes out.
I told Isiah that I hope he knows that not many middle school students are as emotionally intelligent as him. That he is rare, but truly a dynamic, person with a heart that will take him further than he knows.
I promised Isiah that I would keep this close, and that I would absolutely use it to give me strength.
When I no longer need it, I will absolutely pass it to the next human who needs it along with Isiahs story.

Just a type 1 diabetic in the wild 🐒
💖
We got to go to the zoo today w/out kids!
💖
Just stopped to calibrate Dexi 😍 💖
I don't go anywhere without my favorite supplies such as my pumppeelz , dexcom , mygenteel and myabetic case! I also can not forget to rep my #warriorup tote from dexcom! 💖
It's been a little over a year now that I've been using my mygenteel device I was gifted from the #savethefingers challenge and I have not tested on a finger since! My fingers are completely healed and I am loving it!!
💖
It's also time for a new myabetic case/bag. I'm hoping someone will gift me one for Christmas this year!! 💖
I also just received an email from pumppeelz with info on a sale and I am due for some new peelz!!

Nobody told me how much I’d miss students after the weeks of programming ends! We worked with some incredible young people over at Crossroads. I find myself wanting to hear more poetry from them! Setting the intention for them to participate in the the_diatribe summer program! #kydsaidit #mydiatribe #unitethroughdiatribe #ListenLearnGrowTogether 📸: zmbiephrsh
I feel pure joy all over me every time I get the opportunity to work with young people. The students at Southwest Community Campus are so creative, courageous and inspiring. They flexed their poetic muscles during their final performance at the end of our 6 weeks of the_diatribe programming, in front of their ENTIRE SCHOOL! I love my life #kydsaidit #MyDiatribe #UniteThroughDiatribe 📷:zmbiephrsh
I took my daughter to see the movie #trolls the other day. It was a #daddydaughterdate day. It is a super fun movie. But as I sat there with her watching I began to see things in this movie that disturbed me. I have a lot of thoughts and I need to write them all out. I laughed and smiled very hard and at the same time I couldn't shake something. I left feeling half very entertained and half unsettled by what I realized is happening. #mydiatribe is #comingsoon #blackonblackbk #erasure #staytuned
Pressure creates 💎 💍 ♦️. This year has been one of the most challenging years of my life, but it has also been one of the most productive and magical years ever.
This year the_diatribe is in over 10 schools already, and we just reached the halfway mark! This picture is just 1 of 10 programs currently in motion.
The future of poetry in our city is looking BRIGHT, it is looking diverse, and I can’t wait to see these young people continue to take strides! 📷 : zmbiephrsh
