Our family had the opportunity to attend the Fan Fest celebration in Phoenix for the Men’s NCAA Final Four basketball tournament. At this event we celebrated men’s basketball and all the teams that made it to the NCAA tournament. We started the event with the Final Four Dribble from Heritage Square to the Phoenix Convention Center. Before the Dribble began, there were food trucks, music, and other fun activities to participate in by the starting line. The Dribble was for children 18 and younger, and we all received T-shirts and basketballs.

We had the opportunity to interview Cherami Leigh, an actress who also does voices for anime and video games. We discovered that she has had a passion for acting since a very young age. She enrolled in her first acting classes at the age of 5 and landed her first professional job at the age of 7. Throughout her career, she has undergone a wide range of acting training, including film and television acting, stage and theater training, microphone work, singing, dance and gymnastics.

Did you know that Mesa, Arizona, is the very first Autism Certified city in the entire world? As a child diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, I am grateful to live in this progressive city.
