An honor to be nominated for @PeabodyAwards for our @NewsHour reporting on migrants making the treacherous journey through the Darién Gap, filmed by @BrunoFederico9 , produced from the jungle by @Villaloncarlos and from DC by @mtill50 and @sarajust. to.pbs.org/3nMafII
It’s been so gratifying to keep in touch with many of the now-immigrants who let us journey with them through the Darién jungle, from Colombia to Panama, Mexico and now, the U.S. Just last night: a happy reunion in Philadelphia with Waseem, who now works making deliveries.

I just had an incredible encounter. Our doorbell rang, so I opened the window to look below to the front stoop.
When I saw a man delivering food, I called out to him, letting him know it must be for our neighbors downstairs. This, so far, is normal.
“OK,” he nodded, turned to head down the steps, but stopped, and looked back up at me on the second floor. “Nadja?” he asked. I had no idea who he was.
