Milwaukee is building a massive toxic waste storage facility in Lake Michigan, just south of the Summerfest grounds, to store toxic PCB sediment.

For @journalsentinel, @caitlooby and I visited the site to speak with project managers about how it will help heal local waterways.

Deeply Honored to be named the 2026 National Association of Black Journalists (@NABJ) Journalist of the Year.

This recognition means a great deal to me. For years, I joked that I was a non-award-winning journalist, so I guess it’s finally time to update the LinkedIn. 😂

This was a perfectly fair and fair question. Trump's behavior toward the Black women who cover the White House is unhinged.
