So…you want to build diversity with a 1-year fellowship? Because a permanent position with full benefits is just for the real reporters, or what? If you want to legitimately make change, commit to more than this glorified temp job.

People wanting more than subsistence, living paycheck to paycheck, doesn't make them lazy or mooches off government assistance. It means we need to change the system: living wages, affordable child care and not judging those who seize opportunities to better themselves.

@lovely_giuliana, my partner on @laist project #Racism101, produced a wonderful piece for @kcrw. Amid all the reporting on how employers and the economy are struggling bc people won't return to jobs, it's refreshing to hear the other side.

Producing #Racism101 with @lovely_giuliana was one of the best experiences I've ever had as an editor. I felt like we really made an impact and started some really important convos. Visit laist.com/racism101 to see the project. And, read about how it all unfolded:

Active participation in the racial reckoning may be waning, but convos around race are more intentional and more common. #Racism101 may be over, but it helped make talks around race more deliberate and thoughtful, says editor @write_this_way. laist.com/news/essays/th…

Friend and former colleague @AndyJacobsohn is doing ALL the work. Support him and @DeepIndigoCo!
Dana Amihere@write_this_way
As newsrooms and their budgets continue to shrink, this work is vital. The launch of @DeepIndigoCo is the culmination of more than a year hard work and collaboration and I'm so happy to know @AndyJacobsohn and support his efforts. Congrats, dude. #ClimateCrisis
