Charisse’s time behind the scenes working with New Orleans legends such as Eric Paulsen and Sally-Ann Roberts led to a profession as a TV News Producer at WLOX-TV on the Mississippi Gulf Coast where she would jump in front of the camera from time to time as a Reporter and Fill-in Anchor.

Continuing her passion for community problems, her Emmy-nominated special report “Victims of Progress Pt 1 & 2” explores how the petrochemical enterprise is quite literally erasing history as districts mostly lived in by black citizens whose families have been there for generations have been converted into “industrial/residential” districts.
