A bit of news…..Starting next week I’ll see you at 4p, 6:30p for the Chicago Report and 9p to wrap up the day. Anyone who’s been in this business knows that navigating it is tricky. You’ll have very public highs and lows. I’ve taken no shortcuts, prayed over the risks and worked really hard to savor the moments that make you stop and say, it all lead here. I never thought I’d be a Main Evening Anchor again. I was good with that, grateful to be in Chicago and worked just to be the best version of ME in any time period I was placed. Your support along the way has meant the world. I hope I can count on it to continue for this next opportunity to deliver the evening news with our talented team here at FOX Chicago. Congrats to @jakestakes and @kaseychronistv on taking the baton as the new Hosts of Chicago Live Weekdays from 1-4p!!~#NewChapter #Update #Chicago #SeeYouSoon #312 by @anitablantonlive

Music changed the trajectory of my life, and every young person deserves the opportunity to experience the same confidence, creativity, and sense of belonging it gave me. Thank you to @fox32chicago for the opportunity to share the mission behind Notable Measures and why expanding access to music education matters.I’m honored to use my year as Miss Illinois to advocate for arts education, connect with communities across our state, and continue creating opportunities that empower the next generation through the arts.A special thank you to @anitablantonlive for such a thoughtful conversation and for taking the time to help share this mission! 🎻 #missamerica #missillinois #service #musiceducation by @anitablantonlive
