If you’re interested in learning more, on Wednesday, @lamarr_lemee and I will be talking about our restraining orders investigation as part of USC’s virtual Domestic Violence Symposium alongside a stacked lineup of journalists and experts. Register here: centerforhealthjournalism.or…
In April 2024, Nora Villanueva Campanor fled her abusive husband Jesse Carrillo and got a restraining order against him. Four months later, he shot her and left her dead body on a desert road. LA County’s system for protecting survivors had failed her at every turn. 1/20

Only 1 in 4 LA County kids on Medi-Cal get required lead poisoning tests. Thousands of children may be exposed to lead levels high enough to cause IQ loss without their parents knowing, as health experts call the testing rates “alarmingly low.” lapublicpress.org/2026/09/la…

I am still in disbelief. I am so grateful to @ReportingHealth for this opportunity! My project will explore the growing shortage of *gynecologic* care in rural America. Instead of writing about "who will deliver the babies" — I'll focus on who will perform the pap smears.

So excited and so grateful! Thank you @MagEGordon + @StraightArrow__ for supporting this! I can't wait to dive in + get started on a topic I am so passionate about. If you want to talk rural gynecologic care from access to how to help problem solve, you know where to find me!

I’m honored to be the featured speaker for USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism’s July 14 webinar, “Making the Past Present: Strategies for Reporting on History.” RSVP here: bit.ly/4wzu7Bf My support for USC’s Center for Health Journalism and its mission runs deep. The Center has meant a great deal to me and my work. I received a fellowship from USC supporting my reporting on child well-being, and that support helped deepen the research that became part of my book, I Am Nobody’s Slave: How Uncovering My Family’s History Set Me Free. In this webinar, I’ll be sharing the reporting tips, research strategies and hard-won lessons I used to bring buried history into the present. We’ll talk about archival research, genealogy, genetic testing, finding sources, getting reluctant people to talk, and how journalists and storytellers can use history not as background, but as the engine of powerful present-day reporting. The webinar is free, but you do need to RSVP. I hope you’ll join us and share this with journalists, writers, students, researchers, historians, genealogists, educators and anyone interested in telling deeper stories about the past and why it still matters. – at Cliffside Park, NJ
