Shout out to all the present, loving fathers in the world. My dad is definitely one of them and I’m grateful for him everyday. I wouldn’t be the man that I am without him.

Below are a few great questions to dig deeper with your dad or a father figure in your life.

If Father’s Day is a struggle for you because of an absent or strained relationship, I pray you find healing and peace and are able to connect with others who can hold that space for you. You’re not alone.

Here’s to honoring and uplifting men who offer protection, guidance, and care.

Happy Father’s Day!

TONIGHT AND TOMORROW! Swing thru!!

JOY LAB

Sometimes we’re surprised by joy.

I’ve been hosting a new family program at libraries and schools called JOY LAB: A Poetic Playground of Rhythm & Groove, and honestly, I had no idea how much fun it would be.

Together, kids and their families explore Hip Hop culture, music, poetry, and creative expression through games, improvisation, movement, and play.

One moment we’re making up silly songs, the next we’re testing our rhyme skills, then we’re choreographing funky dance moves, shaking tambourines, tapping drums, and building a community song together during our Vibe Circle.

It’s part poetry workshop, part dance party, part creativity lab—and a joyful reminder that art belongs to all of us.

If you wanna catch the groove, slide through one of our upcoming events:

June 10 | 10:30–11:30 AM
Mounds View Library

July 18 | 10:30–11:30 AM
White Bear Lake Library

July 21 | 10:30–11:30 AM
Roseville Library

Let’s make some noise,
make some art,
make some joy.

We put the fun in funk
and bring the funk to the function!
