She had cancer and I feel bad that I had no idea. It appears she didn't tell a lot of people, but I still feel like I should have known and been able to pray for her.
Today I learned so much about her life and realized this woman that I watched on PBS News Hour was really a news powerhouse. She was dedicated to telling the news the way it really was, all while being fair and pleasant. She made the news interesting and informative and for the people. She was a strong, Black woman and I respect her so much.
Learning about Ms. Ifill's life has inspired me to go after my passions and press on, no matter what.
Thank you for all you did. I will miss you.
