I went to BlogHer last week.
I wrote about it how it pertained to my other projects here and here.
In regards to Fix The Toaster, I was the only road safety advocate there.
Car crashes are the #1 cause of death to kids.
Something is not adding up, right? People responded well to it but.....who knows. All I know is the media is currently forcing Ebola down our throats and yes it's awful and scary but around 700 have died since February, I don't know something like that.
And a little over 700 Americans die weekly in America.
To mostly preventable car crashes.
I came home feeling like as if I didn't connect as much as I wanted to on that level. In my email inbox was an email from a mom who lost her daughter to a preventable car crash.
My heart went out to her and I know there is a space and a need for this conversation.
And a rage that should be taking place but somehow is taking forever to get going.
