Another fun fact: neither the President-elect or VP-elect are Ivy League grads. Joe Biden went to the University of Delaware then Syracuse Law. Kamala Harris went to Howard University. Go to that state school, go to that private school, go to that HBCU, you’ll be fine ❤️❤️
“The 11-year-old Pensacola girl said she learned the importance of evidence from her favorite TV show, the long-running detective series ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.’”
An 11-year-old Florida girl who escaped from a would-be-kidnapper says she tried to get the blue slime she had been playing with on him to help police identify him. A suspect – his arms streaked with blue dye – was arrested hours later.
I am crying right now and it’s not because of this historical moment. It’s because Jennifer Lopez shouted Let’s get loud at the dang US Capitol for Inauguration.
Jay-Z on Colin Kaepernick: "Would you rather be playing football getting your head dinged in or would you rather be an iconic figure for the rest of your life?"

It’s literally a blessing to make it home every day. Somebody’s kid isn’t going to come home from a VIDEO GAME TOURNAMENT. Not a drag race, not a fight, a Madden tournament.
Pray for those families AND the survivors who will live with those sights and sounds forever.
Over 5 years in the making... happy to finally share this collection of incredible memories. Thanks to all of the photographers & artists that contributed & to

Please tell your journalism students to go into producing. On-air work is not the only thing out there and more than likely you’ll get a job ASAP and work your way to a decent market quicker than us on-air folks.

vaccine on Monday, further expediting an earlier timeline for licensing the shot. ➡️Full approval would allow for physician-discretion **OFF LABEL USE** in any population (read—kids <12)! Huge!
Just got the packet of details from Bartow Police. It is DISTURBING. Here’s the summary:
- The girls spent the weekend watching scary movies and plotted to kill several students in the 400/500 hallways of the school.
“Me and my hair kinda grew up together.”
Black people should be allowed to wear our hair in styles that suit its God-given texture.
So happy that Deandre is getting so much love and support and this school has egg on its face.
Since Deandre Arnold’s school didnt want to let him walk at his graduation because of his hair we figured that he should walk with us on the red carpet at the

gave an evening anchor from Beaumont a chance at the big leagues. I was offered an amazing opportunity to head to the Midwest. At the end of January, you can catch me in Cincinatti!
- They also brought a goblet to drink their blood.
- They wanted to kill anywhere from 15-25 kids.
- Afterward they planned to kill themselves in hopes to be “worse sinners” and “go to hell so they could be with Satan.”
Trayvon Martin was the first case I vividly remember keeping up with. It was also one of the first national cases with social media fanning the flames. It was so unfortunate and Trayvon Martin did not have to die that way. He was a baby.
- They planned to wait in there until smaller students came in then they would stab them with the several knives/sharp objects they had.
- After killing students they would put their bodies in the back stall and eventually eat their flesh.

Also women get called all types of names for being promiscuous REGARDLESS if they are or not, so might as well do what you want. People are gonna talk, might as well make it worth their while.
News people: if Taylor Swift came to your city and Beyoncé is coming as well…your coverage better be the same. If you’re station isn’t live anchoring, doesn’t have team coverage, and no custom graphic — your management is exhibiting unconscious bias.

When twins Kamari and Kamera opened a lemonade stand, someone questioned if they had a permit to run it. So, they got one – and last week, they had an hour-long wait for lemonade 💛

K9 officer Titan. We’re told as he was tracking down 23 yo Elijah Johnson, he was shot in the shoulder area. Ofc Shone yanked him back on the leash to get him out of there. Titan is out of surgery and stable.

This is my interpretation of Kwame if he was a baddie 💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️
Shout out to
@levarburton
for bringing the character to life on Captain Planet.
Heads up, because I already know y’all about to say something. Kamala’s race is Black. By ethnicity, she is Jamaican and Indian. So when people say she will be the first African-American VP ANDDD the first Asian-American VP, that is correct.
Reporters who are not familiar with Black Greek Letter Organizations and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (which Kamala is apart of), get familiar. Because if you trivialize a ritual or tradition...you're going to get reamed.

Please delete this. This is the kind of toxic behavior certain newsrooms have taught us. If you get hurt in the middle of your live shot, your control room should end the feed and your manager send help.

I’m sick of Black people not being lit well. In television, in movies, on the anchor desk, reporting in the field...YOU 👏🏽 HAVE 👏🏽 TO 👏🏽 LIGHT 👏🏽 US 👏🏽 DIFFERENTLY 👏🏽
Shout out to the weekend warriors of the newsroom. Under appreciated, given little resources, and still able to GET 👏🏽 IT 👏🏽 DONE 👏🏽
Two weekends in a row you’ve covered news that will go down in history.
We really expect to live until we’re like 92 and people are dying LONG before that. Kobe was FORTY-ONE. Just brought a baby into the world. His other girls are YOUNG. Man, y’all better love on your people TODAY.
Real talk, if you’re looking for the Mecca of fine Black men, look no further than New Orleans. Every time I turned the corner, it was someone’s fine son staring back at me.
It's an honor and a privilege to serve an organization that has given me so much as a journalist. And I'm especially grateful to be in this position under the Lemon presidency.
Let's make it a great two years ✨
Pro interviewing tip (as demonstrated from Oprah): Ask the same question multiple times but in different ways. It helps clarify and possibly get a better answer.
My dad and his brothers lost their only sister. I lost an amazing Aunt. The life of the party. A diva. A comedian. Unfortunately, my Aunt Dee died after a tough battle with COVID-19. She was in a medically induced coma for more than 2 weeks and just couldn’t regain strength.
What’s tea, sis? Joe Biden ain’t the only President-Elect around here. Happy to announce that I’ll be leading

One thing about millennials...we don’t stay at stuff that makes us feel like trash. And Gen Z took that a step further and they hold older people accountable for exploitation. Times are changing.
One other layer...for future journalists...your first few years feel unpaid. I made 16.5k my first two years and worked harder than I’ve ever worked. There is a reason not everyone makes it in this business. I don’t have time for those of you who don’t understand grind ✌🏼
In less than an hour we should get more information about the 2 girls arrested at Bartow Middle School who allegedly plotted to hurt their classmates. Here’s how you can get those updates straight to your phone.
