I'm honored to be awarded "TV Young Professional of the Year" for the Louisiana Association of Broadcasters #PrestigeAwards2025. My heart is full! Although it's not about the awards, I'm super grateful!!! It feels good to know people recognize the work, impact, and dedication!

While Senator Price’s SB 407 failed in committee last night, it is my sincere hope that its core principles can still be incorporated through amendments to SB 121, which did pass. As this process moves forward, I will continue advocating for fairness, equity, and representation that truly reflects the demographics and voices of our great state. troycarter.house.gov/media/press-re…

My professor used to say, ‘Everything is hard until it’s not.’ I didn’t understand it back then, but I understand it now. The beginning is always the hardest part, but with consistency, the difficulty gradually loses its grip.

I have too many flaws to be perfect. But I have too many blessings to be ungrateful.
