ALT Our spotlight for this month is Carlos Acosta. He is one of the greatest ballet dancers of all time. Currently, he is a director of Birmingham Royal Ballet. He also runs the Acosta Danza dance company and The Carlos Acosta International Dance Foundation. Carlos's very touching story and the obstacles he has overcome speak for themselves. 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 On the first day of each month, we will post about a leading figure from sports, art, entertainment, tech, food, design, politics, and other walks of life. Each spotlight is designed to help kids learn about relatively unknown exceptional people, and inspire them to follow their own dreams.

Mae went to Stanford when she was only sixteen and graduated with two degrees - chemical engineering and African and Afro-American Studies.

ALT We make resolutions for our health but what about the health of your relationships? As our responsibilities grow (e.g. parenting, aging parents, career growth), it often becomes harder to spend quality time with our significant others. Committing to spicing things up in small ways can still help keep the spark alive. Though it is harder now due to the pandmeic to go out for a concert or simply a nice dinner, date night doesn't have to be any less fun than a night out on the town. If you are looking for a fun date night and some magic to your relationship, join Kayla and Harrison this Fri at 8pm PT for an interactive and fun virtual magic workshop for couples.
