Tre Ward

THREE YEARS of walking the Chicago streets that raised me, telling the stories of the city that shaped me, and honoring the sacrifices of the two people who gave me everything; my parents. Thank you to @SenseHernandez, Dennis Thompson, and the entire LVLS Creative team for their dedication, professionalism, and capturing this milestone within my decade of work in news. #chicago #TVNews #Homegrown #TreOnTV #ChicagoStrong
