Today @common strolled into ⁦ @NPR ⁩ to meet me. This is a 100% accurate statement of the facts. We talked love, breakups, therapy and slowing down. Tune into ⁦ @npratc ⁩ for our conversation later this month!

Well I guess I can check "Accidentally Sing On Air" off my bucket list now! Of all the things I could have accidentally blurted out on an open mic I didn't know was open, I'm grateful to the universe that it was me belting out my best impression of Ariel from "The Little Mermaid"

Happy 50th, @npr and @npratc ! Tonight, I got to reunite in person with editor @cintagliata , so we could record ourselves in studio at @NPRWest narrating Part 4 of our series on Black homeownership. So great to have @NPRPatrick engineering us, just like during the Before Times!

For 43 yrs, I have been a hardcore night owl. Now I have a job that requires a 6:30am start time on many days. I have been skeptical about my ability to do this without pharmaceutical assistance. But it is 7:30pm & ALL I WANT TO DO right now is slide into my pjs and tuck in.

Today I interviewed a tortoise. His name is Mr. T, and for those of you who think tortoises don’t haul ass, you need to get educated.

One of the all-time greatest moments in my history at NPR: my Mom pretending to host ⁦ @npratc ⁩ when she visited HQ in 2019. I sit down and talk about myself some more this month for #FacesofNPR :

This show will not be the same without you, @nprAudie . You have taught me so much on this job. I'm going to miss you as a colleague, but our friendship stays right where it is. Excited for what you do next.

How many of you have been utterly distracted today by a feeling of hope? I was not hosting @npratc today, and had a long list of to-do items to be completed for future shows. And yet found myself continually snagged -- by little rays of optimism.

I am so honored to receive this news. Thank you to the school that adopted me when I was bumbling around between careers, wondering if I really had a shot at becoming a reporter. I owe Columbia a lot - for grabbing a 32-yr-old lawyer and turning her into a journalist.
