Excited to share some news. After nearly a decade, I've decided to step away from my role at Global News. A move on my mind for some time as our industry evolves. Beyond thankful for my time as one of 6 national evening news anchors in Canada. Signing off with gratitude.🙏🏽♥️

Tough anchoring tonight after hearing the tragic death of an incredible woman. Hodan Nalayeh was a passionate journalist, beautiful human & mom. She was killed along with with her husband in an apparent hotel suicide bombing. Her tweet from a week ago below. Heartbreaking.
The most important value I’ve learned being in

Being patient with my brothers & sisters who have witnessed war and conflict is the least I can do. We can never know the damage war has done, but we can be understanding and patient.

I don’t feel demeaned. All due respect to Cda’s 1st female PM, but that comment is stuck in 50s. Don’t tell me what to wear, no TV exec has.
I am struck by how many women on television news wear sleeveless dresses- often when sitting with suited men. I have always felt it was demeaning to the women and this suggests that I am right. Bare arms undermine credibility and gravitas!
