I can’t stop smiling. I tell stories everyday but this is the best so far. It takes creativity to leave me surprised. We were on the patio of Handsome Hog in downtown St. Paul. One of a few Black owned restaurants in the Twin Cities with chef Justin Sutherland. I took a sip of my signature drink, a Shirley Temple. But this one had a strong cherry — non grenadine — flavor. I told Dario and he gave me a blank stare as if he didn’t hear a word. Then, I heard a sweet jazz melody and saw a man playing a trumpet while holding a large black speaker. “He sounds amazing,” I thought to myself. “I wonder if he is about to take off his hat and play for donations.” I was wrong. The trumpet player, reppin’ the signature D baseball cap for the Detroit Lions, gave Dario a head nod. Then, Dario stood and my heart sank. My love wears patience like a tailored suit. And all I can do is thank God and Dario’s family for raising the man I never believed could exist. The one who shows me daily, life is a lot like jazz. You gotta improvise. He shines like a star- a sun of the Son. I gain energy simply from the light he shines on me. Thanks to Solomon Parham for the sweet song, “Otero Forever” and shout out to Matthew Wales for capturing the moment. I love you! 7.24.20

Dreams. We all have them. Some, I’ve scribbled in my journal. I’ve always written about telling stories at the national level. Now, it is becoming reality. Starting next month, I will be a CNN Correspondent based in Chicago. The first time I walked through the doors of CNN I was with one of my very first mentors, Greg. I was fresh out of undergrad at Michigan State University. Greg snapped this photo of me and CNN’s former anchor, TJ Holmes, on a disposable camera. Monday, tears fell faster than I could wipe them away while watching the send-off from my KARE TV family last night at 6:30 p.m. on Breaking The News. I woke up in Chicago and discovered a flood of wonderful messages. Thank you, everyone. If a girl ever needs needs fuel to keep going, I will fill up on your love and support. Until then .. keep those story ideas flowing. I will be covering the Midwest … and that includes our beloved Minneapolis.
