A THREAD:
I needed a few days before I could physically write anything about her. I still can’t really talk about her without getting emotional…
Jovita Moore was my friend, my mentor and my hero.
UPDATE:
Police arrested a 13-year old boy in the NAACP racist message case.
The teen is accused of calling the Cobb Co NAACP and threatening to murder Black people.

This is what “we’ve got your back” looks like!
Today, a large group of women anchors, reporters and producers in Atlanta and beyond, came together to pray for our dear, Jovita.
A special thanks to

"I can't wait to vote!"
Maynard Blake Jr. & his brother,
Matthew, showed me their 'future voter' stickers.
Their father is a new citizen and voted for the first time today!
These cuties can't even vote yet, but they still showed up!
What's your excuse? Vote!

Family, let’s stay out of

17 years since I stood in NYC and watched a plane crash into the

.
I often think about that day and 9/11 survivor Marcy Borders. She died 3 years ago from cancer. Officials believe she was exposed to carcinogens from the debris and dust that covered her body.
A post on social media said “40,000 ballots were thrown out in DeKalb.”
I spoke with DeKalb Co officials. They said that’s FALSE!
According to officials, there are discrepancies on only 203 ballots.
Those voters were notified and will have 3 days to fix it.

May God continue to watch over that sweet, sweet spirit, now resting easy in heaven.
I now pray her light, keeps shining bright.

Paid a couple of bills, unfriended (and blocked) a random H.S. "friend" who is now a racist conspiracy theorist, mailed my mom a care package and exercised my constitutional right to VOTE.
Today, was a good day!

After fellow News Anchor Amanda Davis died, Jovita helped organize a special sister circle-type luncheon.
She said it was important we all get together to fellowship and to give each other our flowers while we could still smell them.
