Thanks to @twoodard8 and the @wfaa team for helping share Kaya’s story. The first video interview I’ve done, so I couldn’t hold back the tears. Neither could Teresa.
She was, indeed, “America’s Best Friend.”

Today, I cover another.
My heart breaks for everyone who lost a loved one at Club Q in Colorado Springs. People were at the LGBTQ club to have fun. It was supposed to be a safe space
