There's a good reason our very own Christine Devine isn't with us for the 10 p.m. newscast Monday. Devine was honored during YWCA-LA's annual phenomenal women's award ceremony.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The YWCA of Los Angeles hosted an awards ceremony Tuesday night for thousands of "unsung sheroes" who have sacrificed and persevered throughout the pandemic.
