1) On 02/21/16, I met my husband, Roy Montero, on a live streaming platform called 𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒃. That platform ceased to exist about 6 months after we met. (This was the year before FB Live came into existence.) I thank God that Blab was around long enough for me to meet my soulmate.

Last day of voting 🗳️ in Round 1 🎉 Thank you to all who got me into the Top 20. Be on the lookout for some live streams I'll be doing related to my participation in this contest. #April2Point0 #RyanSeacrest #TopHost #iHeartRadio tophost.org/2026/april-roga

It's time ... not time for me ... but time for the people I desire to serve before I leave this planet. A vote for me is a vote for our nonspeaking friends on the #autism spectrum. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠? Connecting with others through storytelling and humor. My deep desire is to facilitate conversations that bring others to their transformative moments. And if I am not engaging directly with someone, I love to speak to the hearts of people whom I know are listening in. I probably developed that superpower from the one and only Delilah whom I've been listening to since high school. I love drawing out a-ha moments from others, especially when they don't believe in themselves. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐢𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭? Being a mom to my nonspeaking teenage son on the autism spectrum who has apraxia, I come from the unique perspective of understanding things that people don't say as much as I understand what they do say. Assessing someone's spoken and unspoken body language is a skillset I acquired growing up as an only child in my formidable years. I observed so much from being a great listener. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 $𝟐𝟓,𝟎𝟎𝟎? If I won $25,000, I would first safely invest it with the intent to at least quadruple that amount. I would then use the money to collaborate with Jenny McCarthy, Donnie Wahlberg, and Brendan Fraser to help with building my dream of finding a very large Dollywood-style property on which to build houses for non-speaking adults that are unable to care for themselves because they don't have families to care for them. #TopHost #RyanSeacrest #JennyMcCarthy #DonnieWahlberg #BrendanFraser tophost.org/2026/april-roga

Owen Hemsath suffered a sudden health crisis that has changed everything for his family. They’re now facing the challenge of recovery and financial strain after Owen’s medical emergency left him unable to work. This fundraiser is just getting started, and sharing helps so much in these early days. Even if you can’t donate, a quick share can help it reach someone who may be able to support. Please consider sharing or donating to help the Hemsath family during this difficult season. gofund.me/eb4aef6ff

I love @RCamposDuffy’s share so much. I believe our special kiddos are highly underestimated on so many levels. I have a son who just turned 15. He is nonverbal with apraxia and on the autism spectrum. I have found that again and again, his IEP team at school greatly underestimate his abilities. I have always presumed competence when it comes to my son. Unfortunately, that is not the case for many others in his orbit. But that’s okay because we are currently on a journey to show the doubters what he’s capable of. Six weeks ago, we enrolled my son into a communication program called #S2C (Spelling to Communicate) … news story linked below. After just six sessions, my kid is rocking the program. His school IEP team recently declined our request for an S2C evaluation. Many parents who are learning about this incredible program, and its many success stories, are wanting their children to become a part of this program. However, there is more demand for the program than there are practitioners who can teach it. I would love if you could spread the word about this program. Our kids with greater communication challenges, deserve a fighting chance to live their best lives. We just need more people to believe in them and presume competence from day one. fox5dc.com/video/1663794

#KnoxvilleEarthquake - Anyone else feel it? @wvlt

Totally agree!!

I just listened to this podcast about the benefits of laughter from @JoelOsteen. It's one of THE BEST podcasts I've ever heard. In fact, it's SO great that I'm committing to build an entire course around it for ... entrepreneurs. podcasts.apple.com/ng/podcas…

For those of you on the #autism journey, whether it directly or indirectly impacts your world, I see you!! #WorldAutismAwarenessDay
