On this 20th anniversary of 9/11, Americans and likely others around the world will pause and remember the 2,977 precious and innocent lives that were taken and the thousands of others who were injured but survived. At a 2002 memorial, Sandy Dahl, wife of Flight 93 pilot Jason Dahl, said, "If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.” Her words were poignant then and oh how we need to be reminded of them now.I was honored to interview 9/11 survivor, Michelle Cruz. In my interview with her, she describes her journey during that horrific day, as well as how that day led her to finding her purpose. As an eager and driven 28-year-old professional at Fidelity Trust, Michelle arrived early to work on the 95th floor of Tower Two that day at her manager's request to put the finishing touches on that morning's presentation. Before she had a chance to unpack her briefcase, she heard the roar of the first plane's engine as it flew by Tower Two and into Tower One. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, she ran for the elevator. When she reached the ground floor, she ran outside only to see the second plane crash into Tower Two. Her co-worker, Andrew, encouraged her to keep going. After nearly 40 blocks, she and Andrew parted ways as he took the ferry to New Jersey and Michelle took a taxi to her mother's house. Michelle describes how she's certain the sudden appearance of the taxi driver and his powerful words to her were that of an angel. Over the next few weeks, Michelle processed the events of that day and began making plans to move forward with her life.Michelle and I discussed the book she co-authored titled "Pursuing Your Destiny: How to Overcome Adversity and Achieve Your Dreams." Her book gives a full account of her journey on 9/11, as well as the many experiences she's had since then. Follow Michelle on Instagram @mikaila_nyc or on Facebook at mikaila_cruz_nycMichelle is working on her second book, which will dive deeper into her philosophy about finding empowerment within and pursuing your purpose.

A look at what's happening in the south valley, agriculture with California Ag Today, and a chat with Michelle Cruz, Mental Health Services Act Manager at the Tulare County Health and Human Services Agency. Our topic: Mental Health Awareness Month.

Four women are forever linked by the East Area Rapist (otherwise known as the Golden State Killer). Their stories are different but they are united through their desire to expose the man behind the mask. Jane Carson Sandler, Debbi Domingo, Margaret Wardlow and Michelle Cruz call themselves the "Sister Survivors." They live in South Carolina, Texas, Georgia and California. We spoke with them at Crime Con in Nashville after they learned of the arrest of suspect Joseph DeAngelo.

With the arrest of Joseph DeAngelo, who allegedly murdered at least a dozen people and rape more than 50 women between 1976 and 1986, the survivors and the families of the dead are telling their stories. Four of them talked to Nancy Grace for a special Crime Stories live event at CrimeCon2018. Jane Carson-Sandler was the 5th victim of what was then known as Sacramento's "East Area Rapist." Margaret Wardlow was the youngest to be assaulted by Sacramento's "East Area Rapist." Debbi Domingo was a teenager in 1981 when the "Golden State Killer" murdered her mother. Michelle Cruz is the surviving sister of Janelle Cruz, who is the last known victim to be raped and beaten to death by the "Golden State Killer." Nancy is also joined by forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan, private detective Vincent Hill, juvenile judge Ashley Willcott, and lawyer Renee Rockwell.

A former cop has been arrested for murders long associated with the Golden State Killer, apparently bringing the decades-old cold case to an end. Nancy Grace and co-host Alan Duke share the latest in the case. Nancy also talks with Jane Carson-Sandler -- the 5th victim, Michelle Cruz -- sister of a murder victim, Billy Jenson --an investigative journalist who completed the raw chapters of victim Michelle McNamara’s “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark,” Paul Haynes -- a researcher on McNamara’s book, and Cold Case Research Institute director Sheryl McCollum.

The Golden State Killer is a burglar, rapist serial killer who has terrorized California for decades starting in the 1970s. One man is believed to have committed as many as 50 sexual assaults and over 10 murders. Nancy Grace explores the case with Jane Carson-Sandler, the 5th victim and author of "Frozen in Fear: A True Story of Surviving the Shadows of Death," Michelle Cruz, sister of a murder victim, Billy Jenson, an investigative journalist who completed the raw chapters of victim Michelle McNamara’s “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark,” Paul Haynes, a researcher on McNamara’s book, and Cold Case Research Institute director Sheryl McCollum.

A serial rapist attacks dozens of times in Northern California and law enforcement can't catch him. Two years later, a man is terrorizing Southern California and it doesn't take long for those attacks to turn deadly. Debbi Domingo lost her mother, Anne Penn lost her aunt and uncle and Michelle Cruz lost her sister.  Could the same man be responsible for all of the crimes?  The families and the investigators are determined to find out.

"I think that the best design is design you don't notice most of the time, so I have no problem just putting up a beautiful photo if it's a beautiful photo." Marissa McClain, Sr. Designer/Brand Specialist for the Boston Red Sox joined this episode to discuss her passion for fine art & photography, and how it led to a gig with the Red Sox. We discuss her past as a student photographer for the Michigan Wolverines and an intern at Complex Media; as well as how she ended up shooting the Boston Red Sox 2013 World Series win which led to an art-loving, non-sports-liking kid to end up working full-time for one of baseball's historic teams. Marissa touches on why she pushes herself and her creative team to make things with intent, why we should let photography do its job sometimes and go easy on the textures and filters, and how design principles are the same no matter the discipline (i.e. motion, graphic design, etc.) We also discuss the fear of being a "jack of all trades, master of none" and how having an inherent curiously is good for creativity. Marissa touches on how the Red Sox incorporate motion, GIFs and animation into their social media, as well as their strategies for Instagram stories and when to balance very produced work with raw, candid images. Lastly, Marissa discusses her "34 x 34" project for Big Papi's retirement and her creative friendship with NFL tight end and The Imagination Agency owner, Martellus Bennett.

Design is about communication. It is about articulating decisions made from a professional perspective in order to sell something, or have a user do something. Other than speaking verbally, writing is the most important skill set to have when communicating ideas or opinions. On this Halftime, I discuss why the people that are the best at their craft are also good writers and why writing is designing words. In order to be great at what you do, you also MUST be a good communicator. Being able to articulate and construct your ideas in written form are very important to our growth as creatives and as human beings.
