Gia Vang was the first American news anchor in the Twin Cities.
After announcing last week that she was leaving the station, Vang bid farewell to Minnesota as a co-anchor of KARE 11 Sunrise.
The reporter previously worked at a TV station in California.
Vang said on Friday's "Sunrise" that he was leaving a position where he was the only news anchor of color. It's not just because of the clear ways we can measure that, but you also tell me in emails, messages, events, when you see me out in the community that being in my skin makes a difference I've seen you before. I would like to thank you in Minnesota. I would like to thank you for allowing me to tell your story.
