PACKED HOUSE: The Peace United Church of Christ in Duluth is full of community members all here for a vigil to protest the inhumane conditions faced by refugees at detention camps. It’s part of the “Lights for Liberty” movement taking place across the nation today.
Goodbye, weekends! (well soon)
I have accepted a position as KBJR 6's 5 p.m. co-anchor and lead 10 p.m. reporter (or as I like to call it, power reporter)
Thanks to everyone who supported me on this journey.
Cheers to Duluth!

Winter Storm PSA: If someone is taking their time, driving slowly on snow-covered roads, in low visibility conditions, PLEASE don't ride their bumper/shine your lights in their mirrors. It's stressful enough without the pressure to go faster - Sign an Anxious Driver ❄️❄️

🦉A gorgeous owl just chilling outside an office window at the Lonsdale building in Duluth this morning.
Any idea what type it is?🦉

This morning is the 1st I have ever been in the middle of a pay it forward chain. The man ahead of me had paid my coffee. I said let’s do this and paid for the man behind me. Everyone started honking and giving thumbs up to each other. It’s going to be a good day. 🌟
No matter how many times I tell my mom my work schedule... she will... without fail call me and say "Oh sorry, I didn't know you were working." EVERY TIME 🤦♀️
I told my mom earlier this month it didn’t feel like Christmas not being with family. Today I check my mail and have 10 Christmas cards from family members, with more to come. My mom texted everyone to send me a card. I’m so thankful 🥰💚❤️
Hi Friends!
Don't be alarmed but I am no longer a blonde!
This is much closer to my natural hair color.
I needed a change... and blonde is very hard to upkeep.
See you at 5 p.m.😵
Googled myself looking for a specific news article I wrote years ago and stumbled on.... whatever this is... Apparently, I am 5'7" and have a net worth between $1M - $5M 😂😂
Things I’ve cried about tonight:
The health of my family, my personal mental&physical health, my job, my friends, missing the ones who matter most to me. But when all is said and done... life is so much more than the negative and it’s okay to cry.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from me and my new accessories! ☘️
An update on my back situation: I haven’t been on air this week due to pretty much being unable to walk. Hoping we can figure things out soon and will be back in action.🌟Thank you for all the support🌟
It’s super disheartening reading some of the comments on very important, human rights stories we report on. If you have something negative to say, you CAN keep it to yourself. Try it, it’s not that hard.

If you want any insight into how scrambled reporters brains are this week...
@DanWolfeKBJR
had to borrow a tie from a coworker today because he couldn’t find his...
I found it in the break room refrigerator... 🥴
A man calls the newsroom tonight cussing me out for our coverage on protests. I respond "First of all sir, I'm a person and don't deserve to be cussed at." He immediately hangs up. The lack of kindness in a time where unity and community are so necessary is disheartening.
NEW LOOK CHECK: if you see me on the 5pm with…. significantly longer hair… they are extensions and much needed to help my natural hair grow strong snd healthy 🤍 Happy Weekend!!
Okay, so I love Minnesota and all... but my biggest peeve is driver literally refuse to MOVE OVER to allow you to MERGE on the highway. I grew up thinking it was a law... I was wrong. But come onnnn.
NATIONAL POLICE WEEK: Law enforcement from all across the state is ending the week strong with a procession in Duluth over the lift bridge, lit blue, to honor fallen law enforcement officers. The procession starts in 5 minutes.
An emotional procession in Canal Park tonight. Over 100 squad cars paying tribute to officers killed in the line of duty. Thank you for your service ❤️💙
It’s one of my favorite days of the year! Session opening at the MN state capital! Lots of fun chatting with our local senators and reps about issues they hope to tackle this year. Tune in at 6 to learn more!

HAPPENING NOW: NBC, ABC, and CBS all cut away from President Trump to real-time fact check. The networks are claiming he is spreading misinformation about the election.
Been moving for the past 48-hours straight. My feet hurt, my back hurts—but I am already SO SO SO much happier living outside of the city, in the woods. Reminds me of how I grew up 🖤

Lily: “Aunt Jess, I want you to move back to New York.”
Me: “I know honey but I can’t, I have a career.”
Lily: “But you can have a career here.. like at Walmart. It’s easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.” 😂😂 ThIs little girl melts my heart 🖤
Dan: “It smells like fall in here..”
Me: “I mayyyy have bought a fall scented candle.”
Dan: “….it’s July……”
Me: “WELL THEY ARE SELLING THEM!!”
Guilty 😇🍁
It’s amazing how something so small can mean so much! My brother sent me this in a Christmas card. Customized from New York to Minnesota. I’m truly so grateful for my family 😭🖤
Maybe this is just the East Coaster in me... but pizza should NOT be cut this way!! I’ve never had this until I moved to the Midwest 🤨🧐🤔
At any rate I’m sure it taste amazing. I love

Being out in public with
@DanWolfeKBJR
is always interesting. Today someone asks me “is he on TV?” Meanwhile I’m just standing there like yup! He is! Just him! I’ll leave now 😂😂
It’s been a long day and I am still working on processing this…
When Renee was first elected she used to call me asking for advice on how to get the media or anyone to quote her— she never stopped fighting for her voice to be heard..
It is with heavy hearts we share news today that Renee Van Nett, mother, sister, daughter, friend, second term City Councilor & past Council President, and Red Lake Band member, passed away surrounded by family in Duluth this morning after a brief battle with cancer. She was 52.
“COVID is just like a cold, you’ll be fine”
Well everyone’s body’s respond differently to the virus.
For me, it’s like a cold and the flu had super genetic babies. And those babies are constantly kicking you in the lungs, head, chest, back, throat.
Thankful to have been apart of your journey. Excited to see you thrive during your next chapter of life! Grateful to call you a wonderful friend. Congrats
