Former CBS investigative reporter. Host and creator of Voices of the Forgotten. Journalism with a mobilized community behind it.
I spent years as an investigative reporter for CBS, work that at one point helped contribute to the exoneration of a wrongfully convicted man. That work shaped how I think about every case I cover now — slowly, carefully, and always trying to get it right rather than get it first.
Voices of the Forgotten started because too many cases like the ones I cover disappear from the headlines within days, while the families involved live with the unanswered questions for years, sometimes decades. This show exists to keep asking.
Alongside VOTF, I run 716 Girl in ATL — a more personal platform covering justice, advocacy, and the stories that don't always fit a full episode format.
Every case starts with public records, prior news coverage, and, where possible, direct contact with family. Nothing goes into an episode without a documented source behind it.
When a case warrants it, a formal records request is filed with the relevant law enforcement agency. Original documents, not secondhand reporting, are the goal.
Confirmed facts are presented as confirmed. Allegations, family accounts, and unverified claims are always labeled as exactly that — never blurred into fact.
The episode is built to honor the person at the center of it — not to sensationalize what happened to them.
