Chantaye Imani is your Bakersfield Neighborhood Reporter!

Chantaye is excited to learn about the Bakersfield community and tell your stories.

Born in Medford, Massachusetts and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada she graduated with her B.A in Journalism and Media Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Chantaye has always had a passion for art, theater, videography, reading, fitness, photography, and watching the news.

On her free time she also likes cuddling with her rabbit Twix.

Inspired by the reporters she grew up watching on screen, she was able to work alongside them, interning at our very own sister station KTNV ABC 13 News as an intern and Nexstar's CBS KLAS 8 News Now as an investigative intern.

Imani was able to cover stories like most recent case developments in the 1997 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, The Las Vegas Golden Knight's 2023 Stanley Cup win, co-host the Las Vegas Morning Blend, UNLV shooting and more.

Her passion grew from seeing the community come together through powerful storytelling and wants that to convey through her reporting for you and the Bakersfield community.

Please share your concerns or highlights with Chantaye, she would love to listen and tell them.

Follow her for updates about the community!
