el paso, tx. world’s okayest mom. always anxious.
It was the privilege of a lifetime to help facilitate any sort of semblance of healing for these families the last two days. I am grateful for them today. They’ve taught me so about faith, grace, and forgiveness.

I lost my Super Bowl halftime bet. I bet my son that there was no way they’d allow a murder during a sporting event and then Kendrick played Not Like Us anyway.

That’s a wrap. After 12 years of the most rewarding and challenging years of my life, this chapter at KTSM comes to a close. Thank you everyone I’ve met along the way, you’ve made me a better person. El Paso, thank you for trusting me with your stories. ‘Til we meet again.

My favorite thing about the Texas-Texas A&M rivalry game is the shit talk that starts from the minute you wake up in the morning from friends & family. The angry texts I’ve received today have warmed my cold dead heart.

Who knew that hate could create such healing. 🤘🏼🐮🤘🏼

It’s okay, I kinda don’t want this Georgia-Georgia Tech game to end anyway.

I was 23 years old when this Georgia / Georgia Tech game started.

The Netflix JonBeńet docu made me not only rethink what I believed about the case, but also how journalists should behave and how much we should trust from our law enforcement sources.

Today is the start of Winterfest in Downtown El Paso. Lowkey my favorite part is parking at Sun Bowl garage and taking the trolley downtown. ❄️

Happy 16th Birthday to my son, Elliot. He’s brilliant beyond his years and he cares deeply for his family. He’s the kindest, funniest, and smartest person I know. I’m just lucky I get to be his mom.

20 mostly white private academies, all founded in the 1960s and 1970s, brought in more than $20 million from North Carolina in the past three years alone.

None reflected the demographics of their communities. Few even came close.

I will admit, the only thing I’m missing over here is #trending. I like interacting with random people about Dancing With the Stars or Texas football.

I’ve spent the better part of the last month sick — with two different illnesses. These two are helpful nurses. I hope you find things that bring you comfort and joy.

Time to re-introduce myself! I’m Andra, a journalist from El Paso, TX. I’ve covered everything from immigration, politics, police brutality and the August 3rd mass shooting at Walmart. Oh, I also love tornadoes. Hoping to regain a fraction of my 4.3k followers, but anxious to leave X cesspool. 👋🏼
