POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Mental health and its severity are often overlooked. I have personally battled mental illness and suicidal thoughts for over a decade. It’s an ugly disease that fears no evil and offers no grace. It’s so important to check in with the ones you love and to be vocal about your feelings. There’s so much power in speaking your truth and knowing you’re not alone. Although it’s still an uphill fight, I am grateful to continue this journey —I had no idea my life could be as beautiful as it is today.

I have always dreamed of one day giving back to The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention- I had no idea what that would look like or entail until I met my good friend, Alex (@mndgrn__ ). In March of 2024, in celebration of my two year tattoo anniversary, I had the privilege of co-hosting a Charity Art Event with @mndgrn__ . We raised $2,300 for AFSP, and I couldn’t be more honored.

On that note, I’m thrilled to share that Alex and I are back for MK Charity Art Event Round 2! We are hosting our event on August 9th at @dottiewoodstudios from 7 PM to 10 PM. I want to give a huge thank you again to all the vendors and attendees who made last year possible. We couldn’t have done it without you! 🤍🤍🤍

You can check out more details about the event in the link in my bio, as well as the link for purchasing tickets. I’m so excited for this year—hope to see you all there!!

If you are unable to attend but would still like to donate.

“It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.” -Marianne Williamson

ONE YEAR AT @cbsaustin! 📺

A year ago, I started as an MMJ and covered the morning shift— today, I’m a nightside reporter and fill-in anchor! I’ve grown so much personally and professionally this year, and owe much of that to my newsroom. 

Every week, I’m fulfilled by producing meaningful work and telling the stories that matter in my community! This job has been, and always will be— my dream come true!

Love ya, Austin! Excited to continue working for you! ⭐️
