Congrats to all the nominees and winners at tonight’s Chicago Journalists Association awards ceremony.
I cried in front of strangers tonight, and for good reason. More tomorrow, but for now I’m gonna enjoy my night and soak everything in.

If you’re Pacific Islander like me, you probably know lots of people on dialysis, which patients get if they have kidney failure. But you may not know anyone from our community who has actually gotten a kidney transplant.

Kidney failure afflicts Pacific Islanders at much higher rates, but for reasons that some say amount to discrimination, they don’t get transplants as often. civilbeat.org/2022/08/pacifi… @ahofschneider #HInews

I’m on bereavement leave grappling with the loss of my grandmother. She lived a long, beautiful life but this hurts. Meanwhile, 1 mo after Uvalde school shooting we are experiencing another terrible news event w/ nearly 50 people dead — all who came to the US for a better life.
