What is so crazy is that neither of the hosts or my managers spoke 2 me 2 tell my contract was gonna end early—just a 10min meeting w someone I’d never met—then my slack was deactivated and no one contacted me again. So this is strange bc there are no producers 2 produce the show

Truly every one on the team produces magic every got-dang day. I’m serious— like 20 minute nuanced stories with a one day turnaround about Haiti, Title 42, Gas Stoves, Eggs, Abortions, K-Pop, Iran— White Supremacy! Like this team 👏🏼 does 👏🏼it 👏🏼all 🗣️

🧵1/? i'm really proud of the work we do on
@TheTakeaway
. It's a unique show with a much-needed approach to covering news: uplifting stories and voices that are often ignored and taking the time to unravel complicated questions with care... some recent examples of that:
Feeling both utterly grateful for my time
@TheTakeaway
and reminding myself of the brilliant words of
@MHarrisPerry
, "white supremacy isn't something that we're just reporting on, it's happening to us." Thank you--thank you to the entire team! 💌
I don’t know a got-dang thing about the globalization of sports or Argentina or fútbol culture—but i might have shed a tiny tear thinking about belonging. So good. So inspired.
I had so much fun producing this story! thank you

Please see me for all for fact checking needs I’m literally an encyclopedia of knowledge. Also fact checking is a blast when the reporting is brilliant 🪩

So heartbreaking to read this letter from Melissa Lucio’s children begging for the state not to kill their mother. There are so many unresolved questions surrounding this case and the evidence that was used to convict her.
We as a society don’t need to see all the Kardashians on the red carpet. There should be a quota of one Kardashian per event, including but not limited to, Blac Chyna, Jonathan Cheban, Brody Jenner, Larsa Pippen, Tristan Thompson, the Hadid sisters, and all members of Blink-182.
I know you wanna listen to La Brega, but what if you also listened to a 'La Brega Is Back!' Where I made MHP ask Alana... Who is Bad Bunny? via

I fact checked this episode so you know it’s gonna be good!! But a good fact checker is only as good as a brilliant producer

for the fact-checking and the eyelash extensions expertise :)
I’m turing 30 in a 6 hours, the first time I cut bangs was in my grandmothers bathroom because I wanted to look like Selena. 20 years later I still wanna look like Selena.
I was raised to be quiet, to not talk about what was going on in the house, but my grandmother let me be loud, and look loud. She let me imagine a different reality beyond the one I was living, and I am grateful for that.
I got amazing news today, it’s complicated and I never talk about it. I just wanna share that I got good news without saying what it is because I don’t feel like putting it into context. All I know is the ‘law’ can kiss my whole ass! xoxo 💋
The hip and butt pads on the Netflix Selena show are so bad. Selena’s body was so important to her artistry and they have talked about it 0 times. V weird.
I don’t know how to say this but I’ve lost THREE hair brushes in my apartment. They are lost! Even after cleaning. Where are they?? Who took them? I’m locking my doors!
Rip to all the things I bought on maxed out credit cards and then told the credit card companies 10 years later, ‘that wasn’t me, prove that it was me?’
@ everyone whose ever considered going to therapy, I 100% recommended. 10/10
Who knew realizing I’m a separate person from my mother was so insightful and empowering?
BREAK MY SOUL. ITS LIKE IF: YOURE DANCING AT THE CLUB. EVERYTHING IS IN SLOW MO. YOURE WALKING TO THE CENTER OF THE DANCE FLOOR WITH A DRINK IN TOW. YOURE PASSING THROUGH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WHIPPING THEIR HAIR AND MOVING THEIR HIPS. YOU JUST QUIT YOUR JOB.
Since I began being a career woman I haven’t had the chance to sew 🪡 doing that today. If I don’t update it’s because my wide leg pin stripe pants turned out bad . 😅🖖🏼 💔

Do you think I can make the iconic purple Selena outfit??? Should I go searching for a stretch purple glitter fabric??? I’m supposed to be doing everything but this. But imagine it 😇
Wow, you know what!!! I know my Prozac is working cause I just had a tiny fit of anxiety and realized I hadn’t felt that in months— AND that I forgot to take my meds this morning. We’re all good now, took my lil 20mg and it’s fine now.
A woman won’t stop talking to me at work. I’ve tried everything. She has lied to me all day and I’m not even talking to her! What did I do to deserve this??????????!!!
