It’s not every day you get to meet your hero. 💫
This week, I had the incredible honor of meeting Temple Grandin — someone whose work, voice, and advocacy have shaped the way the world understands autism. For years, I’ve admired her groundbreaking contributions to animal science and her powerful impact as a champion for neurodiversity.
Meeting her in person was surreal. She was exactly as thoughtful, insightful, and authentic as I’d hoped — and somehow even more inspiring. There’s something profoundly moving about thanking someone face-to-face for the path they helped pave.
Grateful. Inspired. And reminded that sometimes, you really do get to meet the people who change your life from afar.
