In Her Own Words

On the weekends I love to: Sing at clubs, restaurants, festivals in the Triangle.

The high school, college or pro sports teams I root for are: the Denver Broncos, University of Florida Gators, Carolina Panthers, Miami Heat, and Charlotte Bobcats.

If I’m watching a movie or listening to music, it’s probably: I love watching epic films, drama adventure and comedy. I love to listen to everything from Frank Sinatra to Diana Kroll from John Legend to BB King, from Broadway musicals to classical symphonies.

I am passionate about: My family.

The story I’m most proud of documenting is: South Africa’s Nelson Mandela’s first speech in the United States after being freed from prison after 27 years. The interview I am most proud of was: with actress, singer, and civil rights activist, Lena Horne.
