About this listen

From award-winning journalists John Quiñones and María Elena Salinas comes One Year in Uvalde, a narrative that builds on yearlong ABC News reporting from Uvalde, Texas, chronicling how the community is forging on through grief with hope and activism in the shadow of tragedy.

Uvalde: 365 was a continuing ABC News series led by the network’s Investigative Unit. As part of the initiative, in the aftermath of the tragic mass shooting at Robb Elementary School, ABC opened a local satellite news bureau in Uvalde, Texas, that hosted a rotating crew of correspondents, producers, writers, and technical staff. Their gripping, vital reporting has been featured across all programs and platforms, from Good Morning America to World News Tonight with David Muir.

Award-winning journalists John Quiñones and María Elena Salinas became immersed in the Uvalde community, as their field reporting brought them ever closer to the people of this Texas city. Quiñones, Salinas, and other ABC reporters and producers on the ground documented the lives of victims' families; covered local community events; followed city council, school board, and Texas Legislature meetings; and attended congressional hearings in Washington, DC, where victims' families have been advocating for gun reform.

One Year in Uvalde synthesizes this yearlong story into a timely, humane, and important look at a community’s activism and resiliency, as it follows several families and residents while events continue to unfold in the community. The intimate, sensitive reporting of Quiñones, Salinas, and the ABC News team examines a specific time and place in American life, thereby highlighting challenges that we face as a nation.

About the Performer

Originally from Texas, Kim is a second-generation Irish-Mexican actress based in New York City. Her versatile career spans film, stage, writing, and voice-over performances. Her ability to access a wide variety of characters stems from her humble beginnings among Latine working-class families, where humor and resilience were key responses to life's challenges.
After many years in front of the camera, Kim discovered her love for audiobooks on a whim, narrating her first one in her tiny, sweltering Brooklyn closet. It was a 12-hour fantasy set in a Latine-inspired world, and she was so immersed in it that she finished it in just two days. This experience revealed to her the power of audiobooks. Driven by her newfound passion and her tenacious drive, she set out to a hardware store to build her own home studio from the ground up, eager to create even more stories. Since then, she’s narrated a variety of genres, from YA Gothic to nonfiction.
On screen, Kim has appeared in numerous TV shows, including Bull, Orange Is the New Black, and New Amsterdam. She is a graduate of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.
