Fun career update!! I’m finishing up my @kqed internship in the next month or so… then headed to @sfchronicle for the summer🙀

In September, I’m packing my bags and moving to the London School of Economics to get my MSc in Media & Comms. Feeling #grateful

People are rightfully focused on the @wapo layoffs, but I'd also like to point out that the @ajc also underwent a round of layoffs this week, too. Plus @propublicaguild is preparing to strike. There are more journalists losing their jobs & fighting for better working conditions.

On Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026, The Washington Post laid off hundreds of journalists. We are devastated and raising funds to help them. Please, please share far and wide.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

They won a federal grant from a program one policy leader described as “life-changing.” Then it was terminated. How are Chicago community groups picking up the pieces?

"When the EPA abruptly terminated 'Community Change' grants, the impacts rippled across the country. Chicago groups that won and then lost one of those grants are still feeling the impacts." Uprooter @amberonradio for @insideclimate https://t.co/IxZnaxjpYj

Contrary to popular belief, Los Angeles is oil country. Each year, 3,600 people in the region die early due to oil and gas-related air pollution.

These are the Black women fighting to ensure the end to that reality: https://t.co/HQPzXl6Kmk
