‘I feel so helpless.’ Afghans in the U.S. worry for friends and family back home | PBS NewsHour

So I unexpectedly ended up covering Afghanistan on my second day at PBS NewsHour. An amazing Communities Initiative team effort. I wrote the two sections here about Michigan. My first article at PBS NewsHour.

It was even shown on the Friday evening broadcast, and my friend, novelist Tom Peek, saw and somehow recognized me from my tiny little author photo scrolling by on their TV, and then sent me a picture...I hadn't even seen it...I love this tiny little picture he sent)



My article was also mentioned on the Broadcast August 20, 2021 – PBS NewsHour full episode | PBS NewsHour at the 12:33 mark
