I’ve written many stories about the homeless hotel where I live, Fusion Studios. But I don’t often get the chance to write about good things happening at Fusion. This week the tenants expressed pride and surprise when they awoke Monday to lobby furniture for the first and second floors. There also is some really tasteful artwork for the walls.

Often, supporters of OurBlackGirls will send over cases that have occurred in their hometowns, and someone did just that when they asked if I could feature Sonya Tukes. There has been minimal news coverage about her case over the years, and the last detailed report I could find came courtesy of Georgia's WMGT 41 News from 2016. The outlet spoke with the 22-year-old's family as they mapped out Sonya's last steps and speculated as to how she could have vanished in the middle of the night in 2004 without a trace.
