Amelie Brazelton is an environmental journalist and communications professional based in Minneapolis, with reporting and editorial roots from Florida's Gulf Coast to Brazil's Atlantic Forest.
The crowd was brought to their feet in Fox Hall on Saturday for Eckerd College’s 16th annual drag show.
It was incredible to cover an event that is so representative and essential to the Eckerd College community.
Especially interviewing a drag queen, it was a special night.
One Gulfport resident, Priscilla Kidder, has big dreams for the future of Gulfport’s shoreline.
I spent three hours with Priscilla Kidder listening to her story and walking around Veterans Memorial Park.
What was most impactful was listening to her story of the 2024 hurricanes and how that experience influenced her project with the living shoreline.
Barking, yipping, meowing and howling could all be heard in downtown Gulfport Feb. 28 during the 22nd annual Get Rescued street festival.
Seriously one of my favorite events I've covered — Get Rescued was full of energy and love from everyone for their pets.
It was one of those days that made me think, "man, I love Gulfport."
