To be one of 100 creators told they were hand picked for Meta’s first ever Creator festival in New York City is something I’m still trying to wrap my head around. I learned so much from @haleyybaylee and @mattrking and @samsungmobileusa . I met so many incredible creators! Here’s the thing – I would not have been in the room without YOU. Watching my content. Sharing it with others. YOU made this happen for me. And I’m eternally grateful.
For those who are new around here… And for those if you’ve been around a while, here are some things you may or may not know about me! If you can relate to any of this, let me know in the comments

A cousin says Diana Muñoz survived the deadly head-on crash on Highway 101 in Spartanburg County that killed five people earlier this week. Her mother, father, and wife were among those who did not.
She is in the ICU, the cousin says, facing a long recovery — and doing it while grieving the loss of three of the people closest to her, all at once.
Her family has set up a GoFundMe to help cover medical bills, funeral costs, therapy, and living expenses as she works to rebuild her life.
If you followed this story this week, the link to help will be in my stories. Please keep everyone impacted by this accident in your prayers.
A 5-month-old baby has died after a dog attack in Anderson County.
Officers were called to a home on Wilson Street Thursday afternoon. The infant and an adult were both attacked. The baby was life-flighted to Prisma Health in Greenville with life-threatening injuries.
The Anderson County Coroner’s Office confirmed Friday the infant died from multiple traumatic injuries. The manner of death has been ruled accidental.
The dog fled after the attack. Officers located the animal near Cater’s Lake. It is now in custody at Anderson County PAWS.

Someone sent me this and I have questions.
First… that hair. I did that myself, thank you very much.
Second… is that a satin blouse? Yes. Yes it is. We don’t talk about the 90s wardrobe era.
Third… look at those monitors behind me. We thought we were so high tech.
I’ve been at WSPA 7 News for 36 years and somebody out there was watching back then AND still watching now.
That’s everything to me.
Drop a 🙋 if you were watching Channel 7 back in the day.
and let’s talk NEWS changes. What do you like about the news these days and what do you wish could go back to the way it was?
A head-on collision in Spartanburg County has left five people dead and a Greenville police sergeant fighting for her life.
Two off-duty Greenville Police Department sergeants were passengers in a Toyota SUV when it was involved in the crash overnight.
Sgt. Ashley Munoz, an 11-year GPD veteran, was killed. She supervised the department’s Criminal Investigations Units and was promoted to sergeant in 2023.
Her wife, Sgt. Diana Munoz, a 12-year GPD veteran and GPD’s Public Information Officer, was airlifted to a hospital and remains in critical condition. The couple has two small children and was returning from vacation.
Two others in the Toyota SUV also died. Maria Del Rosario Munoz, 62, of Greenville, was pronounced dead at the scene. A fourth occupant of that vehicle has not yet been identified — the coroner’s office says next-of-kin notification is still pending.
The other vehicle involved was a Ford SUV. Deborah Sue Wyatt, 50, of Duncan, was pronounced dead at the scene. Max Douglas Wyatt Jr., 46, also of Duncan, was taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries.
A memorial for Sgt. Ashley Munoz is set up at GPD’s Public Safety Campus, 204 Halton Road. The public is welcome to visit.
Please keep all of these families in your thoughts.

BREAKING: Governor McMaster is calling the General Assembly back to Columbia.
He’s issued an executive order reconvening a special session starting Friday, May 15 at 11 AM.
Two big items on the table: the state budget and South Carolina’s congressional maps. Other matters of public importance are also in play.
This is the first time McMaster has called a special session since 2023.

Officer DJ Keller will be honored as the devastated Greenwood Community salutes this fallen hero. There are prayer and candlelight vigils, and the funeral service has been announced. He’s left behind his wife and their two-year-old child, along with the rest of his family and law-enforcement community.
After indicating he would not call a special session to redistrict SC's congressional maps, SC Gov. Henry McMaster has reportedly done an about face and will be calling lawmakers back. Numerous lawmakers are indicating an announcement is in the works. I've included the map as it stands now... and the proposed change.
South Carolina’s Attorney General already has announced plans to retry Murdaugh. He will not be released since he is in jail on separate financial crimes charges serving a 27 year sentence.
