My story today was about a 12-year-old girl who overdosed at Depot Park in Santa Cruz back in February! Santa Cruz police tell me she survived. Dominican hospital medical officials tell me they’ve seen an uptick in Fentanyl mixed with Methamphetamine drug overdoses of children!

40 mass shootings in just 24 days.

Americans don't deserve to live in fear.

After a nearly 24 hour trip we made it to Jalisco México to celebrate the New Year with family. This is Tateposco (where my husband’s family is from)

Don’t give up 🙏🏽

This is the Corralitos Creek in Watsonville, where Creek levels are very high and rising. Santa Cruz County has issued an evacuation WARNING for this area. For more info on evacuation warnings: @KION546
