Someone complains daily about my clothes, I don’t share hate...because I don’t care really. But, she took great screenshots so there’s that 😂😂😂 Enjoy!!!!
Celebrating my Dad’s birthday just to return to this. In the middle of the day near Frenchman st. A colleague had her car broken into while celebrating my birthday just one week ago as well. I’m tired, New Orleans. I try to find joy where I can but I’m tired
Received a call saying I sound as if I'm "from the projects" because I used the term pistol-whipped in a story. While I can't recollect all my memories in Desire Projects, the Gibson's (all 14 of them) were born and raised on Abundance. 9th wd, Desire Projects. Not ashamed.
GRAND ISLE: The island is uninhabitable, there is 3ft of sand across the island. 100 percent of structures damaged, 40% are completely destroyed. No means of communication on Grand Isle. There is a strong odor of natural gas on the island.

My only baby brother is now gone.
God called Terry Jr home April 13th, and it will forever be the worst day of my life. Terry was loved by so many of you. And I’m so proud to know he touched your lives not only with his music but with his spirit and energy.
I love carnival season. New Orleans is already walkable. For some reason it becomes EXTRA walkable and you develop some sort of super power that make you walk from Uptown to Downtown and not think twice.
My cousin was murdered last night. Please help me and my family. Don’t let this get swept under the rug. If you know this man, please call Crimestoppers. Anything helps.
Today was one of those days that reminded me, despite our problems there is still magic in New Orleans. What an honor to call it home. Needed this weekend.
Congrats to Big Chief Shaka Zulu of the Golden Feather Hunters who is among the 2022 class of NEA National Heritage Fellows! America's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts!

If you grew up in New Orleans, you knew who Santa Claus REALLY was and you knew he was from the 7th wd. I've, unfortunately, confirmed with a family member Mr. Fred Parker has passed away. Thank you for the precious memories and for being a true reflection of the community.
Hi Family! Right now, I am recovering from an unexpected illness that could have been deadly had I tried to push forward without help. I just wanted to make sure you all knew I am still with

and hope to be back with you all in a few weeks. xoxo Charisse
Wow, props to CBS This Morning for not burying the lead. Obviously a painful moment for Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell. She said: "Charlie does not get a pass here or a pass at CBS This Morning. I am clearly on the side of the women who are very hurt or very damaged by this."
Journalists come from all socio-economic backgrounds, this is not a profession reserved for the elite. I did not attend an ivy league school (HBCU grad) and I did not come from a very rich background. That doesn't mean I am not equipped to tell America's story.
She was a class act and always treated me as her equal through my climb in this industry. Nancy, you are so loved and you will be incredibly missed. I don’t know if I can think of another soul as sweet as yours. The entire community is heartbroken.
Went to target for batteries. I now have a new rug, dress, decorative items for the house and a dozen febreze plugins. I also bought this new shower curtain.
I forgot the batteries.
They don’t like you skinny, they don’t like you overweight. My advice: do it for you. Three comments to my face regarding my weight tonight. Miss me with all that
Will there ever be a 40 OVER 40 list? People who accomplish their goals later in life. I’m really just over the stigma. I’m watching people have full-blown panic attacks because they think it is too late to follow their dreams. When did 35 become too late.?
Not everyone has a last name that will save them. A savings account to burn through. Mom and Dad to carry them. You don't realize how many of us are just trying to make it day by day. It is mentally draining. Have some compassion.
Thanks, everyone, for your encouragement and kind words.
"She said she never intended to debate with the viewer that challenged her to choose her Americanism over her African heritage. “I’m not arguing this,” she said. “I’d never deny my culture.”

In a very rare win for a small community in St John the Baptist Parish, Greenfield Louisiana, LLC has announced it will halt its plans to build the $225 million grain elevator project in the historic Black community of Wallace.

Goodnight everyone and Merry Christmas. If no one has told you, I love you very, very much and am praying for you all ❤️ I know how hard this time can be, you are not alone.
I’ll see you all in 2023.

46 years later, Louisiana's oldest running tattoo shop will shut its doors. Jacci, once a novice and now a pioneer for Black women in the tattoo industry, is still at it. At 75 years old, the second longest-running Woman tattoo artist in America.

Already love being an Aunt to this champ!
After the bacon burning incident last month, my ego was hit. So, I had to see if I still got it. Fried chicken, yams, baked macaroni, sweet peas and honey cornbread.
I'm giving the commencement speech at Warren Easton tomorrow. An honor and privilege since I didn't get the opportunity to walk the stage at my high school alma mater due to Hurricane Katrina.

We need to see a self-defense session at
@NABJ
this year. Listening to stories of women journalists being attacked, stalked, etc... is frightening. More on-air reporters are being hired as MMJ's and are sent alone to situations that could be dangerous.
I've been invited to several kickbacks, wine parties, etc... even some with a 5-10 person limit. This is irresponsible and no one considered a "friend" would actually put your life (or the life of your family, since this spreads very easily) in danger.
Reasons why I love my morning crew, they get my sense of humor lol. Last day with

Now, to the bakery that sent the cake. I’m thankful and it looks beautiful BUT it’s “You’re.”
Lol, I can’t help it.
Hey friends, I don’t want to see you for Mardi Gras. No one here does. So please just...don’t come. It’s going to already be a struggle keep our own in line. We don’t need the added pressure.
An honor and a blessing, thank you to my fighting Eagles for inducting me into the Warren Easton 2021 Hall of Fame
