In addition, she started the “Positively Alabama” weekly series which highlighted artists, businesses and people who made unique contributions throughout our state. Two of Estee’s favorite stories during this time included a trip to South Korea to tour Hyundai plants in the fall of 2004 before the opening of Montgomery’s Hyundai plant and driving a hovercraft down the Coosa River.
Estee then left WAKA to be a stay-at-home mom for more than 15 years, but rejoined the news team as her children became older. Since her return, Estee has been honored with two Alabama Broadcasters Association ABBY Awards.
