    President Trump today at the White House said to me: “Be nice. Don't be threatening.” I’m not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job. My take: Be steady. Stay focused. Remember your purpose. And, always press forward.

    Sheri embedded at Memorial Medical Center in NOLA amid Katrina and won a Pulitzer Prize. What she's done here is even braver and the reality she is sharing is even more consequential on a far broader scale. Like the doctors and nurses she reports on, is a hero.
