RICHMOND, Va. For anyone who knows Farrah Massenburg, they know she can find humor in just about anything. You re trying to have some light in the darkness somewhere, Massenburg said.
That dark time came Nov. 16, 2019 when Massenburg was breastfeeding her baby girl. I kept feeling it and feeling it. It felt like a small acorn. It felt like a hard rock, Massenburg recalled. I automatically knew it wasn t supposed to be there.

Veteran news anchor
Reba Hollingsworth‘s side business has caught Forbes’ eye.
After anchoring the morning news at WTVR in Richmond, Va., Hollingsworth goes home to work on the AHA Wrap: an IFB holder for female news anchors who are sick of spending time finding a place to clip their mic pack.
It goes around the ankle or thigh and comes in a variety of sizes and colors.
“To report the news on television, journalists have to wear a microphone and earpiece both are attached to wires, which in turn are attached to a battery pack. That pack is solid, dense object and women usually have to choice but to clip them in uncomfortable places especially if they are wearing a dress,” according to Forbes.
