Say hello to @indystar’s newest public safety reporter. Super excited to join this team of outstanding journalists. Send me news tips: [email protected] 💙
A memorial sits for Deandra Staples, 14 in the 1400 block of Salisbury Lane near where the teen was shot dead last Saturday. A balloon release put on by her step team is happening this weekend.
Yesterday was @Binghuihuang’s farewell basketball tournament at Brookside Park. I was team captain 🏀 but she’s the real captain around these parts.
She’s going to be missed from IndyStar. The first person to invite me out for coffee 🥰 Good luck with everything Bing!
This is the reality of a world where people are killing kids.

📌 One year. 60+ newspapers. 250 stories.
One paid fellowship. A couple awards.
One legacy… That shaped & molded me to prepare for the next big story.
Thank you @IndyRecorder 🖤💛 I’ll be here until May 17.
I finished up my @ReportingHealth fellowship with @USC last month. Technically, I was a grantee for their Impact Fund for Reporting on Health Equity & Health Systems. ❤️💛
So, here’s me in the backyard with a USC sweatshirt to commemorate the journey.
When I watch them I see a mother & daughter who were both too young and failed too soon. This is the reality of so many dysfunctional families.
I’m glad they seem to be doing better but Nova & Tanea really need help and therapy.
