SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT Professional 📸 in ALL of 23’ 

While working on a story at Gaithersburg HS, I ran into this young lady and her mother. Mom asked if I had time for a picture, that it’d mean a lot to her daughter because after seeing me on TV, she knew what she wanted to do with her life … 

I damn near shed a tear on sight.

Growing up in the 90’s, I ddnt see many ppl who looked like, sounded like or dressed like me on television. There were moments where I wondered if this ‘life’, this industry was for me. The idea that I’m in a position now to be an example for the youth is more worthwhile than anyone could imagine. 

chey.cheyyyy_ not only CAN YOU do what I do… what #ErinAndrews does… you can be BETTER! Keep working, keep striving, keep achieving — and let me know how I can assist along the way
