Tuesday night, WMBD News will air a Nexstar special on Fentanyl.
According to the founder of Emily’s Hope, Angela Kennecke, she and other families were brought together for the upcoming Fentanyl the Next Generation: Breaking Fentanyl’s Grip. Many of these families have lost someone to fentanyl overdose, including her.
Angela Kennecke was a television anchor and investigative reporter for thirty years, but back in 2018, her 21-year-old daughter died from fentanyl poisoning. Since then, she has dedicated herself to ending the stigma around substance use disorder. Her non-profit, Emily’s Hope, helps provide treatment, prevention, and educational resources surrounding drug addiction.
