I'm happy to talk to anyone about the piece or @afrolanews. My DMs are open.

I'm really grateful to have had an opportunity to write this. THIS is what a lot of us in local news deal with behind the scenes. I hope folks can better understand what this is like to live through.

@veedstudio Your site keeps crashing on me! I'm only trying to download a video. I was finally able to get subtitles. I'm in Pacific Time, so I'm well beyond your scheduled maintenance period. This video is for an application due tomorrow, and I need it ASAP. Can you help?

Seeing my former @ucbsoj students thrive has made this the absolute best job. I always try to shout out their great work. Kudos to @simmerdeep_kaur on getting her J296 final published IRL.

I'm working with @theGrio on election coverage related to the views of Black voters. #BlackVotersMatter Here's the first story that published today: thegrio.com/2022/10/18/the…

"Used to protecting themselves from racist critiques, they’ve overcorrected, deflecting reasonable questions from the people they once uplifted...None of these men has been meaningfully canceled..." A thought-provoking read from @elamin88 @BuzzFeedNews buzzfeednews.com/article/elamin…

What a privilege for founder/exec director @write_this_way to keynote #JACC2022 at @csuf. Look in more than just the "usual" spaces and you see all kinds of hope for journalism in LA and beyond!

My essay is part of our #BuildingAfroLA series on @Medium and efforts to create this org in public, highlighting personal and professional struggles on the journey to launch and beyond. 3/3 @afrolanews/how-to-be-unapologetically-black-2833b0f842fe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@afrolanews/ho…

I took a step back to reflect on our talk and @afrolanews’s early critics. "My critics are right. Yes, I’m an “outsider.” But, perhaps if THEY widen THEIR lens to understand AfroLA, they might understand that I’m new, but...interested in collaboration, not takeover." 2/3

"Am I allowed to do this? Is this the right thing? Am I a traitor to the race?" On the latest episode of @Slate's How To! podcast, @karynfolan said what I've been thinking about for months in our convo with @HeleneBiandudi. 1/3

Today marks another important step toward the launch of @afrolanews next year. Stay tuned for more on our community-building efforts in the coming weeks. And, please take the survey! It will be the best 10 minutes of your day. :)

#EJCP4 introduced me to dozens of wonderful journalism creators and entrepreneurs from around the world. It was empowering to know I wasn't alone in this work and how pervasive it is. Check out some of what they're doing here: medium.com/journalism-inn…

I had the opportunity to be a part of @NewmarkJPlus's #EJCP4 cohort. While in the program, I announced the arrival of @afrolanews in early 2023. Here's the first Medium post of a new online journal chronicling how AfroLA is built, by and for Black L.A. @afrolanews/los-angeles-needs-black-news-that-isnt-one-size-fits-all-b7b804bc9031" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@afrolanews/lo…
