[2] Cannick has worked at all three levels of government including in the California State Assembly Mervyn M. Dymally as a press secretary before reprising that role in the House of Representatives for Congresswoman Laura Richardson.

She is the first black person to ever be elected to this office from the 53rd Assembly District which includes downtown Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, Koreatown, Hancock Park, and West Adams.

Nineteen days later after Moore's journal was publicly published by Cannick and appeared in news reports, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's homicide bureau opened an investigation.

Frank Lyga had been recorded telling a class of fellow law enforcement officers that when he looked back at his 1997 shooting of black cop Kevin Gaines, "I could have killed a whole truckload of them... and would have been happily doing it."

Cannick broke the story of how a former "shot caller" for the Mexican Mafia was the featured speaker at a book signing event in downtown Los Angeles that was arranged by the LAPD with taxpayer dollars for a private group of prominent business leaders and local law enforcement officials.

She is the co-founder of My Hood Votes along with rapper Lil Eazy-E, a voter registration initiative focused on Los Angeles County's roughest neighborhoods.

She would go on to face off against KFI-AM again after talk-show hosts Kobylt and Chiampou made fun of Whitney Houston after she was found dead in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton calling her a "crack ho."

Several years later Cannick criticized oKFI-AM morning show host Bill Handel for calling Florida Congresswoman Frederica Wilson a "cheap sleazy Democrat whore" on air.

In 2018, she won a major victory on behalf of a dozen tenants in South Los Angeles facing homelessness after a transitional housing manager took their money, failed to pay rent, and abandoned the property.

Through her advocacy for the victims, she was able to get them relocation assistance as well as call attention to a new practice taking place in Los Angeles where low-income renters are being taken advantage of with rent-a-room scams.

She was a producer on the pilot for Noah's Arc, a cable television dramedy about four black gay male friends living in Los Angeles which lasted two seasons.
