Was amazing to have Taylor Made Production speak to my class about his work as Director of Photography, running a production company and current industry trends. You were a gift to the students and your friendship is a gift to me!

It’s morning, and I join many in mourning Ted Turner. Why was he great? He was a bold visionary. He created a news network where strong global journalism flourished, magnificently impacting the lives of both those who received the stories and those of us fortunate enough to produce them.

He wasn’t a philanthropist simply because he suddenly had the means, he genuinely cared about our Earth.

May you not only rest in peace, but may your legacy live on through the actions you inspired in others. I’m forever grateful to have worked at your creation ,

A few snapshots of my reporting days

1. Haiti - Many people had to dig themselves out of the rubble. Many did not make it. Witnessing sorrow, loss, kindness and hope. These moments live in my DNA forever.

2. When I won a Lone Star Emmy for a series about access to healthcare in Texas, it validated that stories advocating for quality care matter. Access impacts quality of life and everyone’s pocket book. ER In Critical Condition.

3. The magical moment in Morocco, when I launched Global Voice Productions. I took the leap to leave the daily reporting grind to focus on sharing the voice of those who need to be heard around the world. And I’m grateful that many of the news outlets I previously worked for, welcomed and aired my stories. 2009! Time flies.

4. On the World Health Organization truck to get a shot! We were reporting on moms and babies dying in childbirth for and how was installing solar panels - light - that many of us take for granted could mean the difference between a safe or high-risk delivery.

5. Among the riskiest moments in my career was venturing into “West Point”, in Monrovia, Liberia, where many former combatants live. Why did I go? Because before many took up arms they were child soldiers. It is a place where the line between victim and perpetrator is blurred. The poet Rumi said, “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field.I’ll meet you there.”

On this International Women’s Day, I’m sharing part of an interview I did with Iranian Nobel Laureate, Shirin Ebadi. Among her wise words…this hit home and was illuminating.

Melissa tells me about the “devastating” diagnosis in her pregnancy and the doctor says TX abortion laws left him “handcuffed”.

Austin’s NPR Station on my K*T App!

Aborting a pregnancy, in which a pregnant person’s doctor believes the developing baby has little chance of surviving in or outside the womb is illegal in Texas.
