💬This issue is close to my heart. I’ve been committed to mentoring, uplifting, and making space for Black men in media—because our voices matter, and our presence shifts the narrative. The NABJ Black Male Media Project is hosting its annual Inspire Black Men Day this Saturday, June 14. Calling on all @NABJ chapters to join in—celebrate the brothers breaking ground in your city. Let’s honor their grit, brilliance, and legacy. Let’s #InspireBlackMen.

Save the Date! 🗓️ Our next opportunity to mix, mingle and talk business is Crawfish and Colleagues — Saturday, June 28 at Bayou City Seafood and Pasta. 🦞 We’ll be there from 4 p.m.-until.

It you’re involved with HABJ, then you absolutely have the pleasure of knowing our Membership Chair @SportsShaVonne. She’s passionate about this organization, and everything she puts her hand to. Happy Birthday Vonne! 🎂 We love you.
