A very brave recent post on her public page offered viewers a glimpse into the real life of an NBC Action 41 News achor.
Checkit:
Rhiannon Ally:"I struggled with whether to post something so personal. I try to post mostly uplifting things on my page. But, then I saw that today is International Overdose Awareness Day. My 21-year old cousin lost his battle with his drug addiction today. I don't know what the answer is to stop or "fix" our drug problem in the U.S., but I do know that my family is completely devastated. Seeing how heartbroken my grandmother is, made me realize that I wanted to share to show any of you watching a family member battle this, you're not alone. Keep fighting. We cannot let drugs win. We must figure this out. Drugs destroy lives."
The confessional has earned quite a bit of response and an outpouring of sympathy from viewers and colleagues alike.
