Hey everyone!
I want to take a quick trip down memory lane and highlight the stories I've covered so far. I've been at @WFAE just over three months and as part of the High Cost of COVID-19 series, I cover the effects of COVID-19 on communities of color in Charlotte.

[Center for Local Media @CISLMUNC]

🚨NEW research: 70-72% of local journalists are experiencing moderate to high levels of personal and work-related burnout, according to our survey of 500+ U.S. journalists.

This is the first study to measure journalist burnout after the COVID-19 pandemic

Transgender kids and adults in North Dakota won't be able to access bathrooms, locker rooms or showers that match the gender they identify with in places like college dorms or jails, under a new law signed by Republican Gov. Doug Burgum. https://t.co/NzTwbwNzXt

be kind to yourself, today—even if you’re not able to show up as your best self. even if you don’t get everything done.

I’m somewhat loath to get so personal but I feel like I need to tell this story. My mother died in December 2020 with what I believed at the time to be $40k in student loan debt.

I've said this before and I'll keep saying. It is UTTERYLY RIDICULOUS that critics and journalists are required to have paid subscriptions so we can have access to platforms. We should be exempt.

We're essentially being made to pay to provide coverage for these companies.

Dear @NCAA WE NEED MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES. Access to Sport Psychologists/a phone call away/access to psychologist that look like our players..that can relate to our players..that can understand a day in the life of today’s student-athlete. Dear @NCAA WE NEED YOUR HELP. ❤️

Dawn Staley is coaching the national title in a $4,850 Louis Vuitton jacket and matching shoes 👀

I see there's a small-ish debate on whether KBJ should have cried or not.

I get the impulse to want her to be superhuman, and exercise restraint at all possible costs.

But that doesn't feel fair. The weight of history is on her.
Can't Black women be allowed a few tears?

[khastansia @mskaayb]

I be wanting to bust out in tears bc I am so fucking drained.

[David Boraks @davidboraks]

. @bubbawallace's winning YellaWood 500 car is now at Charlotte's @NASCARHall. @doctorgracyn has a feature on @WFAE that will teach you some racing history. https://t.co/UJ2rZp7nTg

Toni Morrison said that the very function of racism was distraction. The constant loop of having to prove our work, history, art matters. White artists get to just create without having to defend the universality of their work. Y’all think I see myself in Lord of the Rings?

[Gracyn Doctor @doctorgracyn]

Yea. I am thinking about Brittney constantly every single day. I pray for her safety and safe return. I don’t think we’re understanding the magnitude of her being detained over there right now.

[dawnstaley @dawnstaley]

I can’t stop thinking about and praying for Brittney Griner. My prayer is for her to find the perfect peace and strength to get thru each day…..and a special prayer for those who are working for her immediate release. Please keep them lifted in prayer until she’s stateside. 🙏🏾

[alex medina @mrmedina]

this is beyond upsetting

“this too shall pass” ok but could it pass a little more quickly
