Journalist, Author, Storytelling Advocate
Emmy-winning journalist, author, and speaker using storytelling to explore race, resilience, and the human experience.
This is me
I am a Peabody and Emmy Award-winning journalist and senior producer at CBS News, where I lead storytelling on politics, race, culture, and justice.
​
With nearly 20 years in broadcast news, I have produced groundbreaking reports on police brutality, environmental racism, and America's shifting political landscape. A proud daughter of Gary, Indiana, my work is deeply rooted in legacy, accountability, and healing.
​
I live in Washington, D.C., where I continue to tell the stories others try to silence — and to fiercely protect the ones who've always looked to me for safety.
I tell the truth, even when it hurts, and I help others do the same with care, clarity, and heart.
I turn real stories into real impact - on air, online, and in the world.
I believe storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have to build empathy, inspire action and uncover the truth.
​
For nearly two decades, I've reported from the front lines of America's most pressing conversations - covering everything from police brutality and environmental racism to resilience, grief, and joy within the Black experience.
​
But my work extends beyond the broadcast. Whether it's a camera lens or a keynote, I use my voice and writing to hold space - for the stories we've been told not to tell, and for the people who carry them,
