Minor was also honored with a prestigious fellowship with The Pew Research Center, where she acted as a juvenile justice fellow.
Her work has been singled out with a National Association of Black Journalists National Salute to Excellence Award, nine Emmy nominations, two Emmy Awards, and many other honors.
