“First person storytelling is important because it takes something happening in the newsroom and humanizes it,” says @tamara_baluja. Tamara Baluja and @cbcthandiwe talk about how first person columns amplifies different perspectives that we don’t always think about. #RISE2023

“Without black folks in the newsroom in abundance, there would be no black stories in the newsroom.” says @aliciacbell. During a fireside chat facilitated by @vmochama, Alicia Bell mentions that helping push stories of people of colour is what encourages her the most. #CABJ
