Hi friends!
Think Inclusive is turning 13, and honestly, I can’t believe it. When I started this podcast, it was just an idea. A way to share stories about inclusion and belonging and connect with people who are passionate about this work. Over the years, it’s grown into a community of educators, advocates, and families who believe in building schools where every learner belongs. This birthday isn’t just about us. It’s about YOU and the movement we’ve built together.
So why should you join us on December 2nd from 7:00–8:30 PM ET for our interactive livestream celebration? Here are 13 reasons:
- It’s Giving Tuesday! Perfect day to give back and celebrate inclusion.
- Celebrate 13 Years of Think Inclusive. That’s over a decade of amplifying voices for equity and belonging.
- Games & Laughs. Ever heard of Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me – Think Inclusive Edition? You will.
- Special Guests. Disability rights advocate Keith Jones, plus Jenna Rufo, Mark Crenshaw, and Diana Pastora Carson.
- Heartfelt Stories. From listeners and past guests who’ve made inclusion real.
- Giveaways Galore. Memes, shout-outs, and surprises throughout the night.
- Interactive Fun. Polls, Q&A, and a live fundraising tracker to cheer every gift.
- Support MCIE’s Mission. Every dollar helps create inclusive schools where all learners belong.
- Donation Tiers Start at $13. Easy, meaningful, and impactful.
- Be Part of the Movement. Inclusion isn’t just a word—it’s action.
