Black Texan, born in Oak Cliff, raised in Plano — she absorbed both the working-class Dallas identity and the suburban hockey culture where the Stars built their base. Her father took her to Mike Modano's last season at the American Airlines Center and she cried in the 200 level without any self-consciousness. She studied communications at SMU, spent six years covering the Stars for the Dallas Morning News, and brings a uniquely Texas-Black perspective to a sport still finding its racial diversity. She is the person who yells 'Stars!' during the anthem louder than anyone in the building.
Fan Perspective
Converted-city swagger mixed with genuine hockey IQ — she studies film, quotes possession stats, but will also tell you she was put on this earth to see Dallas win another Cup and she's not interested in reasonable expectations.
