Received a call saying I sound as if I'm "from the projects" because I used the term pistol-whipped in a story. While I can't recollect all my memories in Desire Projects, the Gibson's (all 14 of them) were born and raised on Abundance. 9th wd, Desire Projects. Not ashamed.

I love carnival season. New Orleans is already walkable. For some reason it becomes EXTRA walkable and you develop some sort of super power that make you walk from Uptown to Downtown and not think twice.

Wow, props to CBS This Morning for not burying the lead. Obviously a painful moment for Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell. She said: "Charlie does not get a pass here or a pass at CBS This Morning. I am clearly on the side of the women who are very hurt or very damaged by this."

Journalists come from all socio-economic backgrounds, this is not a profession reserved for the elite. I did not attend an ivy league school (HBCU grad) and I did not come from a very rich background. That doesn't mean I am not equipped to tell America's story.
