Happy first day to @Ahmari_13, our summer intern at @WBJonline! She'll be covering Greater Washington's diversity and equity issues, small businesses, nonprofits and philanthropy, among other things. Follow her and reach out with your pitches!
I also talked to Sabrina Saunders Mosby of @VibrantBurgh and learned about the upcoming 2020 Vibrant Index summary report. I'm super excited to learn about the new updated, expanded Index and its results when they're revealed on Aug 11th!

My first byline at @PghBizTimes was posted this afternoon! I had a great time talking to art entrepreneurs about the new #TRAF21 and how they survived the pandemic without traditionals festivals and shows. Give it a read!

In this story, I spoke to several Black beauty business owners about a resurgence in salon visits and product sales. They also talked about post-Covid natural hair trends!

Hi everyone, I’ve got a ~personal~ life update. I’ve been brought on as a full time staff writer at @DallasBizNews covering Fort Worth commercial real estate. Im so thankful to all the folks who helped me get to this point and I can’t wait to get started!
Through the years people would ask me why I didn’t teach at an HBCU and I’d say because no HBCU ever asked me. Thank you @HUPrez17 for asking. So happy to be part of The Mecca.
TONIGHT: @nhannahjones joins @thereidout!
Journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones joins Joy live to discuss her decision to turn down tenure at UNC-Chapel Hill and join the faculty of Howard University. Watch at 7 pm ET on @MSNBC, #reiders!
This is a @nhannahjones appreciation post. For who she is. For what she’s given us. For the ways she moves through the world as herself. For her commitment to our community. For the inspiration she gives all Black women navigating a world not made for us. Glad you’re still here.
My hair color really makes some of you so mad because it grates against your classist, misogynoir notions of what a successful Black woman should look like. I refuse to wear the uniform and everything about my look is intentional. Have a great day!
Before you say “why isn’t the media concerning this?!?” I promise you there is a black journalist who has been pitching the story and being told they aren’t qualified or that the story has fallen out of the news cycle. We are trying our best, I promise you.
