This picture is 16 year old me living in Katy, Texas after Hurricane Katrina destroyed the only place I ever knew as home.
This face captures exactly how I felt that year… miserable and so sad.
Katrina - killed my dog, took nearly every material possession I owned, & flooded
My daddy loved social media, so I know he will be smiling at this post from Heaven. His battle with stage 4 lung cancer is over.
When life got hard, my daddy always smiled & laughed harder, so that is what I will do now because I don’t know what else to do. I love you, Daddy
NO they didn't!
@nytimes
posted an article saying gumbo is dead b/c fewer restaurants are offering it on their menus. Any real New Orleanian knows restaurant gumbo is wack. Unless it's from somebody's momma, daddy, grandmomma, granddaddy, auntie or uncle - I don't want it
Best part of my day… the baby girls who thought I was the real Princess Tiana!
One of these sweethearts said, “Can you come to my house?”
My whole heart 😊😊😊😊

I interviewed Mrs. Gayle Benson recently & I told y’all she’s the real deal. Heart of gold … well black & gold 🖤⚜️
The mother of slain comedian Boogie B on New Orleans:
“We prioritize tourism, businesses, sports teams. We’re not protected by the Saints. We’re not protected by hoteliers. And, clearly, we’re not protected by the people we’ve chosen to protect us.”

Here’s to always growing & evolving
I started at the station as a writer in 2011 … by 2012 - I was promoted to traffic reporter… then general assignment reporter and not long after anchor 🌟
This "hypothetical" description of Nicole Simpson's murder by OJ Simpson is one of the most bizarre and disturbing things I have ever heard
#DidOJConfess
@soledadobrien
...also OJ is smirking as he talks about her "hypothetical" murder
The ugly side of being a public figure : Stalking.
I spent the day in court and I wanted to open up about what I’ve gone through (Twice now) a strange man hunting down my house to find me and I want to learn how to support others who don’t have the support system that I do
Back in the
@kcalnews

Filled in on the anchor desk and now I’m on the social desk… covering some stories we have to talk about- including the crazy weather images from SoCal over the past few days ❄️☃️🌨️

Loving my makeup today

Sharing this photo of Queen of the Spirit of Fi Yi Yi, Kim Boutee, who was killed in a shooting in New Orleans East yesterday.
@ShotByLu
took this photo. He always captures the beauty of culture and in this case, a great loss for our culture
#neworleans

I am determined to be myself in every aspect of my life (and encourage others to do the same) no matter how much resistance I get.
But it sure makes it easier when you all rallied behind me. Thanks for the support everyone 💜
