And just like that, it’s October🍂

At our San Francisco launch party for 💚Greenlight Family Hub💚, we encouraged parents to take the time to reset themselves for the busy autumn season ahead — through the body, mind, and home.

📍When it comes to fall organization, the all-in-one Hub helps families replace the ever-growing subscription stack by bringing calendars, live locations, chores, photos, to-do lists, and an AI voice assistant together in one place.🤓

🔗Read more about @greenlightcard Family Hub, our special Fall Reset panel, and other details of our gorgeous gathering at @mothermag (link in bio)

✨Extra thanks to @luminaewellness @apartment_34 @malkorganics @excelsiorcoffeesf @lafermiere.us @fouroneninesf @loonenwater @saltwater_bakeshop for bringing our event to life.

I’m still taking in what it means to be named one of the Osher Fellows at the California Academy of Sciences.

This year, I planned to pour myself into one project. Instead, that one project opened a door I could not have imagined.

I’m honored to step into this role as a Thinker in Residence, and deeply grateful for what is ahead.

🎨 Come Join me at California Academy of Sciences

As I begin shaping these programs, I want to tailor them around you.

I can’t believe ART 🌱 is what brought me here with my mom. Hiking to a waterfall as part of a project, and without hesitation, she was ready for the adventure.

Grateful for the work, the journey, and the chance to experience it all side by side with this fierce, fearless beautiful woman I call my mom. 🤍

They said the kids wouldn’t last an hour and a half.

They stayed for two.

Dev Heyrana on what happens when you bring art into public school classrooms—and why dance breaks set to Beyoncé and Rihanna are part of the curriculum.

“Because if you don’t have access to art, you can’t create. You can’t imagine. You can’t dream.”- @changecadet

And kids know that. Even when the adults in their lives aren’t so sure.

Full episode with Dev Heyrana, link in bio. 🎙

VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Dr Akilah Cadet sits in her golden studio with a silk multi-print zip up jacket sitting across from Dev Heyrana who is wearing a bright blue blazer, a Pixar hat, and cargo shorts as they discuss the power of Dev’s 2H self portrait art classes for kids.

It is a true honor to be in the presence of a beautiful soul like @devheyrana on the newest episode of @humanerightspodcast ✨ Born and raised in the Philippines, Dev Heyrana is a Bay Area artist whose work celebrates Filipino heritage and the intergenerational stories found in nature. Working across large-scale paintings, murals, sculptures, and community-driven projects, her practice is rooted in connection, memory, and joy. Tune in as she talks about how her work is all about creating spaces where people feel seen, connected and reminded of their place in humanity. Trust me, this is the palate cleanser that you need especially after this week of men upholding patriarchy. As always, listen or watch where on your favorite platform, like, subscribe and share! #changecadet

Image Description: Dr. Cadet gives us a rare smile complete with dimple wearing a bright multicolor floral vintage track jacket next to Dev, a Filipina wearing an electric blue blazer and crimson ball cap and bright red lip.

Video Description- Dev speaks so passionately about joy wearing an electric blue blazer, prairie collar white lace shirt with oversized black bow, crimson ball cap that says PIXAR, with jorts. Dr. Cadet with her long blonde braids behind her back wears a vintage bright multicolor/print vintage track jacket that happens to match Dev’s fashion including jorts, nods her head in agreement.

Art is infrastructure.

Me on a recent trip for @abscbnfi which will support my work with @calacademy . I’m beyond grateful.

————————

When organizations support artists, they are not just funding creativity.They are investing in economic growth and community well-being.

Here’s what the data shows:

• The U.S. arts and culture sector contributes over $1 trillion annually to the economy.

• It supports more than 5 million jobs nationwide.

• Creative districts can increase nearby retail revenue by 10–20%.

Art is not just decorative.
It drives local economies.
It brings people into neighborhoods.
It strengthens small businesses.

When cities, schools, hospitals, and companies support artists, the ripple effect benefits everyone.

Supporting artists is supporting the future. Trust me, I know 🥹.

Action Step 🌱

• Next time you or your organization do an event or want to bring some art : Hire Local / Small Business,
trust me it will return 10 fold

• See a Call for Art? send it to a Friend or apply.

Before I share what’s next in my art journey, I want to share what I’m learning. 📍 Lobo, Batangas

🌱

At Lagadararin Mangrove Forest along the Verde Island Passage, more than 30 species of mangroves grow along this coastline.

Mangroves stabilize the land.
They protect communities from storm surges.
They create nurseries for marine life.

But what moved me most was the reciprocity.

While the mangroves protect sea life and its communities, it’s the people who care for them in return.

Local volunteers show up to plant, restore, and protect this forest. Conservation here is daily work. It is hands in the soil. It is care for the next generation.

Deep respect for those who continue this work.

If you’d like to learn more or support their efforts …
