I'm a Chicagoland native who spent time up and down the East Coast and overseas a bit to tell stories about water, corruption, politics, poverty, schools -- and people whose narratives still tug at my heart today.
I'm dedicated to telling stories here at home, in our communities, where they matter.
I'm an auntie and a yogini, and -- please -- ask me about my cats. Anytime.
