It's official! I'm now morning meteorologist @WHAS11 full time. It still feels pretty weird, and I certainly didn't think I'd have this opportunity when I moved here, much less so early in my career. Apparently this means I have to keep an 0130 alarm...oh no...what have I done?

The first " #supermoon " of 2021 is tonight. Known as the Pink Moon, peak illumination will occur at 11:32 PM EDT, so that will be the best time to see it. Despite the name, the moon will not have a pink coloring to it. #kywx #inwx

I chuckle when people complain about wearing a mask because it's "too hot outside." Try wearing a WOOL marching band uniform in the middle of summer while performing a 20-minute pre-game and halftime show and stand tunes basking in 100% sunlight.

1/2 Commentary: I haven't seen anyone discuss what it's like to be biracial in America. Growing up I was always told "you're not really black" or "you're the whitest black person I know," among other things. I was neither this nor that, here nor there.

2/2 Some insisted they knew what I "really" was. What? It was not fun growing up trying to find an "identity" and have people try to "correct" me on what I am. This has been something biracial people in America have dealt with for a very long time. Just wanted that off my chest.
