I’m so relieved that Justice Earls has gotten the medical care she needs to recover fully. No one is more committed than Justice Earls to serving the people of North Carolina. She & I remain clear-eyed about taking back the courts for justice, & the next step is re-electing her in 2026.

Happy holidays from my chambers to yours! The NC Supreme Court had a little Great British Bake Off action going last week. Being one of those judges = #careergoals

Last month, I got to attend both the district court judges and superior court judges fall conferences. As a unified judicial system, it’s important that members of the Supreme Court understand the challenges facing our district and superior court judges. I promise to always be listening & learning!

Tonight the North Carolina Supreme Court Historical Society honored retired Chief Justice Cheri Beasley. As someone who has admired and emulated her service, and benefited from her encouragement, it was honor to be there to witness her special evening.

Yesterday was a special chance for the NC Supreme Court to celebrate our clerks and swear in many of them. I'm lucky to have these three incredible young women working for me in my chambers!

Belated happy 76th birthday to my dad! He's been through the ringer with me in the last year, supporting me in my campaign and having his vote challenged. We celebrated last week with snacks/football watching on the porch and a nice dinner.

I'm so grateful to the North Carolina Association of Women Attorneys for the incredible honor of being recognized as the Judge of the Year. Coming from other women in the practice, the recognition of my commitment to the rule of law means the world to me!

Had the best time with the Iredell County Democrats last night at their annual Kennedy-Carter dinner. It was an honor to keynote the dinner, celebrate their incredible accomplishments last year, and get excited for all the voters they’ll empower in the next 13 months!

A little more than two years ago, Governor Cooper first appointed me to serve as your N.C. Supreme Court Justice. Thank you for electing me to keep that seat, and I pledge to continue serving the people of this state without fear or favor.

On the anniversary of 9/11, I’m thinking of the brave first responders who jumped into action to save lives, and holding close the families who lost loved ones that day.

The Pender County NAACP had a screening yesterday of the PBS documentary American Coup: Wilmington 1898 and it was such an honor to speak to them before the movie about why we must be so vigilant about learning from history. Thank you for inviting me!

Yesterday was a big day at my house. It marked 10 years since I rescued my dog Goose (and what we call his 11th birthday). He was so sick in February that I wasn’t sure we’d make it to that anniversary. But he bounced back! Cheers to a decade with the best furry friend! ❤️🐶🐾 #internationaldogday

It’s been a busy August. Earlier this month, it was honor to celebrate 90 years of the work of the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People! Their endorsement and work in Durham were critical to our victory.
