Congrats to our beloved for her Emmy! She shared the amazing story of baby gorilla đŚ Jameelaâs delivery at the Fort Worth Zoo on CBS News Texas made possible by our own Dr. Jamie Erwin earlier this year.
đ something shiny was delivered to my desk at CBS News Texas âŚ
My first Emmy!!
Beyond thrilled and humbled to receive this award for a story that meant so much to me professionally and personally!
When I heard the Fort Worth Zoo had a baby gorilla born by c-section, I knew it was a huge story.
When I heard, Dr. Erwin with Vivi Women's Health performed the surgery, I knew I wanted to be the one to tell the story.
Dr. Erwin told me in the interview, her love for women knows no bounds⌠even if it means crossing over into a new species to help a mom in need.
I knew Dr. Erwinâs love and care for women personally.
About a year earlier, Dr. Erwin had identified a rare pregnancy complication at my 20 week anatomy scan and delivered my son into the world via c section. Her diagnosis and care saving Charlesâ life.
That same brilliant mind and the same skilled hands were now credited with diagnosing and operating on a gorilla⌠saving both mom & babyâs life.
Incredible!!
I was honored to tell Dr. Erwinâs story and Iâm so very proud of the recognition it received!
A huge thank you to Vince (photographer) & Mike (Editor) who brought this story to life with their time and talents. Iâll also always be grateful to Ginger (Assistant News Director) who had the patience of a saint and worked through multiple drafts and edits with me! This story was a team effort and Iâm so grateful for everyone who believed in it as much as I did! â¤ď¸
