Our family holiday tradition isn’t just watching #Elf, it’s all waiting for the crew member to make an unexpected cameo.

When Maya Enista-Smith looked around Lafayette, she saw 3 things: lots of empty storefronts, lots of people with the means to give, and lots of people who could use help. It gave her an idea, one she executed in record speed. #BayAreaProud NBC Bay Area bit.ly/bap0892

Darnel Tasker says she wasn't planning for this to become a yearly tradition but when people began asking her if she was doing her "sock thing" again she said, "Yeah, I guess we're doing our sock thing!" #BayAreaProud NBC Bay Area bit.ly/bap0893

Nothing was going to stop this musical. Not even a tornado. #BayAreaProud NBC Bay Area bit.ly/bap0894

In 2021, Barrett Deng and Sebastien Burkhardt were in Boston when wildfire smoke blanketed the region. "We realized this wasn't just a California issue." The two retreated to a Mountain View garage to find a way to help. #BayAreaProud NBC Bay Area bit.ly/bap0895

San Francisco is a beautiful place. It's no wonder many artists use it as a subject for their work. Lenny Maughan, however, uses it as his canvas, creating his remarkable works one stride at a time. #BayAreaProud NBC Bay Area bit.ly/bap0897

Loved this conversation with Alysa Liu. She admits her 2022 retirement from skating left many confused. Alysa shares what led up to it, why she came back, and why she is enjoying skating like never before. NBC Bay Area NBC Olympics & Paralympics U.S. Figure Skating bit.ly/4jWrvHQ

In 2025, we celebrate our 13th year of bringing you #BayAreaProud stories. It's an honor to share all the wonderful people doing good in their communities. If you hear a story of kindness, generosity, or compassion, let me know: [email protected].

For #BayAreaProud stories, I look for someone who's gone "above and beyond" to help another. Well, when your day job is at a non-profit that saves lives, the bar is set pretty high. Luis Mayen easily cleared it. #BayAreaProud NBC Bay Area Donor Network West bit.ly/bap0899

If you received one of these emails, NBC Bay Area is interested in speaking with you. You can reply to me or email: [email protected].

I feel like they’re trying to tell me something. 🧐

People often ask where I find my #BayAreaProud stories. I don’t, really. They find me. I rely on viewers who let me know about stories of kindness, generosity, and compassion in their lives. Know of one? Share it with me. NBC Bay Area Email: [email protected]

Going into tonight’s free skate at the World Figure Skating Championships, Alysa Liu is in first place. This is a woman who hadn’t put on a pair of skates for TWO YEARS before coming out of retirement last year. Loved hearing her story. NBC Bay Area bit.ly/4jWrvHQ

For #BayAreaProud stories, I'm always looking for people who go "above and beyond" to help others. 7 weeks chasing 1 rooster, so people can sleep (and the rooster doesn't get eaten by a coyote or hit by a car)? Yeah, that qualifies. NBC Bay Area bit.ly/bap0903

When day care teacher Jessica Alaimo learned that 4-year-old Quinn Drake had a goal of meeting 1,000 dogs before he started kindergarten, she had just one thought: “I need to step up here.” #BayAreaProud NBC Bay Area bit.ly/bap0907
