If ‘Sunshine’ Was A Person, It’d Be NPR’s Michel Martin For Me
I needed some sunshine today and I got it during our annual NPR Nipper Awards ceremony!
I was nominated as an “Unsung Hero” at NPR for my work as digital editor/senior editor on the National Desk this past year. It was an impressive field of candidates. I didn’t win but I’m thankful to be recognized for doing what I love.
And, I’m super happy that one of my favo(u)rite people in the world and someone who’s been a mentor to me since I joined NPR — the incomparable Michel Martin, host of “All Things Considered” (Weekend), won the “Mentorship” award! Congrats, my friend. Truly deserving!
In her acceptance speech, Michel encouraged us to show up for others, even when you don’t know how to, just show up!
I took this photo over the summer while hanging out with Michel on a trip back to NYC & DC. She thinks that I live at the gym and eat only fruits and veggies, I surprised her by accepting her introduction to my first ever root beer float lol! Love me some Michel!
