Ecotravel | Sustainability in Practice During my recent stay at Grand Bahia Principe Akumal, what stood out most was not the scale of the property, but its integration with the surrounding ecosystem. The resort collaborates with Eco-Bahia to implement sustainability strategies

As we welcome in 2026, I am most excited about the new city administration led by Zohran @NYCMayor! As a city government employee with 13+ years of service, I’m impacted by our Mayor’s decisions goals for public works. Here’s to a year of renewed commitment to public service!

Over the past 13+ years in the architecture and public-sector project management world, I’ve been fortunate to observe leaders + step into roles where leadership was expected of me. That has given me a clearer idea of what truly defines leadership! farahnazahmad.com/journal/2025/1…

Life these days feels like a never ending to do list!

Parenthood is reading the same book 3x in a row to your demanding toddler and having your toddler chastise you when you skip to the middle the fourth time.

@VivekGRamaswamy No, it's the cost of weak gun control laws.

Another brave police officer murdered in cold blood in New York tonight. This isn’t just tragedy, it’s the cost of weak leadership and anti-cop policies. No more coddling criminals. No more “defund the police.” Time to crush the spread of crime & make American cities safe again.
