The Goodbye Email

A few days ago, FTVLive told you that longtime KNXV (Phoenix) Reporter/Anchor Nohelani Graf announced that she is leaving the Scripps station.

Graf says she is leaving the station to pursue better health and a better family life.

FTVLive obtained her goodbye email to co-workers as she left the Scripps station.

I’m really proud of what I poured into ABC15, what I learned from being here, and the friendships I made. I’m particularly grateful to the photographers who helped my stories and liveshots shine over the years, and most importantly, who shared your hearts and laughs in the hours passed in live trucks together, those bonds are unmatched. To the producers who trusted any story I brought your way and gave me the time to let them breathe, thank you. To the editors who spruced up my rough cuts, read my mind with video sources and never shared my field bloopers, thank you. To the desk, for the endless story contacts, digging up addresses, booking hotels, keeping my content alive online and trading lol-worthy top lines, I appreciate you. To the production team, morning and night, the roots of how I entered the biz 24 years ago, you are the heartbeat of the newscast, you set the pace and the tone, never forget how much your positivity and focus can impact the success of a show, you certainly did that for me and I’m grateful.

I’m a storyteller to my core, I’m not leaving that, it’s just time to do it in new ways and environments that bring me joy and reignite my passion without compromising precious time with my family. I’ll see you around.

Much Aloha,

Nohelani
