It’s my favorite Libra’s 31st birthday! 🎂🥳

@artofchristianlove, I’m blessed to be able to witness how your beautiful mind and big heart makes this world better. You are truly good to everyone around you. You remind me daily that there’s something to smile about.

“We have to give the day a chance to prove us wrong.”

@pharaohthecavapoo, Shai and I are so lucky to have you in our lives.

“We have to give the day a chance to prove us wrong.”

@pharaohthecavapoo, Shai and I are so lucky to have you in our lives.

Our 9 months in, 9 months out.

@artofchristianlove took this first photo of me a few hours before we left for the hospital — a day before our baby girl was born. I was tired of being pregnant, and I was nervous about all of the changes that were about to come.

The nerves are still here. So is the joy of being Shai’s mom.

We’re both learning new things about ourselves and each other. Some days are more smiley than others. Our bodies are constantly changing. I like to think that we bond over the exhaustion of the everlasting state of change.

Lucky for us, we’re not alone. 🤍

🌟Living the dream at #ONA24! I led my first @online_news session in my home city of Atlanta with @natalie_daher, @nicolenews and Hannah Wise — aka newsroom leaders I could rave about all day.

We presented our collective best practices for planning for breaking news, led about 150 journalists through four scenarios in small groups and offered a framework for attendees to take back home to their teams if they don’t already have a template to lead planning discussions. 📝

So happy to reconnect with old friends and mentors as well as make new ones. All in between pumping in the private, relaxing spaces ONA set aside for caregivers. 🍼 Proud to be a part of such an inclusive and supportive organization.

🙏🏾There are so many people who helped make this reality happen. To call out just a few:
- @kelseyproud, ONA learning director who made this year’s conference possible
- @charohenriquez, who coached me years ago on how to put together pitches for sessions, workshops and panels
- @thefirstcmd and @joeruiz47 for connecting me with incredible speakers for this session
- And last but certainly not least, my husband @artofchristianlove, who encouraged me to submit this pitch while I was on maternity leave

What a way to wrap up my 31st birthday celebrations! Until next time! 🥳

Somewhere over the rainbow dancing in and around a natural world wonder. 🌈

Wedged in between the borders of Brazil and Argentina, Iguazú Falls are absolutely breathtaking. Each side has something to mesmerize you.

On the Brazil side 🇧🇷, I couldn’t stop playing with the water at Devil’s Throat. In Argentina 🇦🇷, the wildlife spottings (especially the coatis) kept me on my toes.

The sniffles were temporary 🤧 (and worth it for the memories)!

I’m a cool mom. 🤱🏾💫🐕‍🦺

I’m a cool mom. 🤱🏾💫🐕‍🦺

My calendar reminded me to call you for our regularly scheduled chat. I know our talks will look a little different now, but I’m not ready to remove them. I’m still hoping to call to ask how are you, so you can say “fan-damn-tastic.”

Our calls started off with you saying hello and me introducing myself as “your favorite eldest grandchild.” In the last few months, this changed to “your favorite eldest grandchild and great grandchild.”

I’m so glad you were able to meet my new favorite person Shai. You were determined to be there at the hospital the day after delivery and hold my baby girl. Not even the cold winter weather could deter you. I was in so much pain that day. I was embarrassed that you had to hear me wail outside my hospital room as nurses worked on me so I could feel more comfortable after the c-section I hadn’t planned for. You came back in, asked to be moved to my side and quietly held my hand. I cried, but you assured me that it was all right.

And it was. I finally felt good enough to come see you, and you were able to feel how much Shai has grown and the strong grip she has. We watched the news like we’ve done for years. Watching CNN and doing the NYT crossword puzzles with you growing up was the start of my passion for journalism. I’ll always cherish getting to interview you as a WWII veteran for work. I learned so much about you from that opportunity.

At 97 years old, even in your final days, your curiosity and desire to learn was there. You had questions about ChatGPT and AI. As a judge, you raised skeptical questions about the legality and safety of such technology.

Yesterday, I held your hand at your hospital bedside, sang “My Funny Valentine” for you one more time and told you everything was going to be all right just as you told me a few months ago. Moments later you were free.

I hope Heaven has a lottery up there. I don’t know what you’re going to do if you can’t play your numbers. I wish I could have understood your strategy more, but I’ll settle with playing the numbers that remind me of you. One of them has gotta get me the jackpot.

Raising a strong, black cup of coffee for you, Papa. Have a “fan-damn-tastic” day. 🤍

Baby girl is one month old today. We’ve had many laughs, shed many tears and made memories that will keep our hearts warm for years to come.

Thank you to everyone who has blessed us with love and support. From the thoughtful gifts to the delicious meals to the text messages, we are so blessed to have a supportive community around us.

This year we got the greatest Christmas gift of all. Shai (pronounced “shy”) Amani Stegall was born on December 22, 2023.

Since we chose not to know the gender until the baby’s birth, we focused on picking a name that best captured how we felt about this new life we were bringing into the world. Therefore, we chose the name Shai, which is Hebrew for “gift,” and Amani, meaning “peace” in Swahili and “wishes” in Arabic.

We hope her presence is a gift to the world to make it a little more bright and little more peaceful. We are super excited to have a new addition to the family as we become first-time parents. #girldad #girlmom

Because we are really proud of our pantry, it gets its own reel 🥹

Nearly three weeks later and it STILL looks like this.

Some of the key changes we made:

1️⃣ @artofchristianlove added wall paneling and wood slabs to the shelves. 🔨 It not only gives the pantry a sleek look but also prevents items from slipping through the shelves’ holes. Don’t worry, the original shelves are still there underneath for support!

2️⃣EVERYTHING needed to be contained. 🫙 Previously we were doing half containers, half “zoning,” but it just created a really cluttered look. We were nervous to make the investment in the all container life, but honestly has made such a difference in us being able to SEE what we have and actually USE it.

3️⃣ Reusable labels! 🏷️ It was important to us that anyone could come into our pantry and know where things go. But sometimes you need to change things out, so a flexible system was also a must. For example, we recently finished up our Skinny Pop snack bags and wanted something different like pretzels. These labels can be wiped down with water, dried off and relabeled. Easy peasy!

💭Would you do a project like this?

37 weeks. Maternity leave officially starts tomorrow. The “any day” days are finally here.

Cheers to more resting, less stressing and still some last-minute nesting.

The good days

The good days

My baby @pharaohthecavapoo turns 2 today🎉🎂🎉Being a part of his life this past year has brought me so much joy, especially on my low days.

If you’ve ever met Pharaoh, you know he’s filled with a lot of energy, a lot of personality and certainly a lot of love.

He’s one of the most attentive beings I have ever met. If you cough, sneeze or cry, he’ll come running to your side to lick you up and down with love. 🤍

We start all of our mornings giving this one belly rubs in bed. At night, he knows when it’s bedtime and will run upstairs racing to claim his spot — even if that means leaving little to no room for mommy and daddy to get into their own bed.

May this good boy have many more happy birthdays to come. 🥳

When my baby grows up, I want them to be able to look back and see that their mommy’s ambitions and dreams didn’t go on pause because she was pregnant.

At 31 weeks pregnant, she spoke on a conference panel to a packed room of college students about how women like myself are leading in media.

10 years ago today, I attended this very same convention hosted by the @collegemedia and @collegiatepress. It was my first time ever attending an event like this. I remember being an awe of the speakers and their work. I thought how cool would it be if I could get in front of a group of dozens or even hundreds and share my experience. Maybe I could inspire someone the way others have inspired me.

Flash forward to today, and people are willing to STAND for nearly an hour to hear what I and my friend and colleague @naomeyeee have to say. People came up to us afterwards to thank us for our advice and encouragement. Some even wanted to take pictures with us.

Our stories matter. Your story matters.

One year as a family of three, and we can’t wait to make it four. 🧡

@pharaohthecavapoo has definitely given @artofchristianlove and I a lot of practice at parenthood. 🙃

One of our first Pharaoh lessons was how much he liked the taste of pumpkin, which we learned after he had an upset stomach during his first week with us. So we thought what better way to celebrate his Gotcha Day than taking him to his first pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin of his own! 🎃

We spent the weekend celebrating @artofchristianlove’s 30th birthday, welcoming the fall weather to Atlanta and enjoying lots of eats and treats.

Grateful to have these boys in my life constantly reminding me to cherish these simple yet intimate moments. 🤍

Key takeaways from my #ONA23:

1️⃣You can be five and half months pregnant and still travel to participate in a professional conference.

2️⃣Relationships will take you so far in life, no matter what you choose to do. Develop them. Use them.

3️⃣There is so much power in coalitions. Find your brain trust and take advantage of it.

Can’t wait for #ONA24 in Atlanta! ✌🏾

🎶Ohhhhhhh, we’re halfway there🎶

Hard to believe I’m 20 weeks pregnant 🤰🏾 The last five months have been a roller coaster. This week brought me a lot of peace:

▪️I gave @artofchristianlove props for convincing me to go to a salon and have my hair done. Everyone at the salon agreed, he was a smart man because I have SOOOO much hair even a non-pregnant person would be exhausted washing and styling it on their own! 💆🏾‍♀️

▪️I’ve enjoyed fiber-packed smoothies just as much as coffee-flavored ice cream 😋 (Note: these aren’t cravings, just fuel that doesn’t give me heartburn.)

▪️I listened to my body more, acknowledging when I needed to rest and embraced the moments when I get those workouts I love so much in 💪🏾

Baby gifts are already arriving! Thank you to friends and family who have already blessed us items from our registry.

Our little human will be here before we know it…

Yes, I miss being on vacation.

@artofchristianlove and I are the tourists who download audio tours to our phones and walk around a city for hours with AirPods in our ears soaking up as much knowledge as we can about the place we’re visiting.

Some people call us nerds. Others say we’re information freaks. I like to think we’re simply empathetic global citizens who care to know more about the histories and cultures from around the world. 🌍

Seriously, this Greek island isn’t hyped up enough. Or maybe that’s intentional, so only a few get to be mesmerized by its picturesque landscape. 🌺 ☀️ 🌊

I’ve submitted my formal request for @artofchristianlove to build a temple in my honor. 🏛️Completely marble. Approval is still pending.

Possible architectural design plans include:
📸 1 and 2 - The Parthenon aka the temple dedicated to goddess Athena that everyone marvels at when they visit the Acropolis
📸 3 - Temple of Hephaestus aka one of the most intact temples dedicated to Hephaestus; can be found in the Ancient Agora
📸 4 - Olympian aka the Temple of Zeus, which was never entirely completed
