JHR is thrilled to introduce the first cohort of the Growing Indigenous Storytellers Fellowship! This program was jointly launched with @IndigenousJA and @APTNNews, with support from @GoogleNewsInit, to create more channels for Indigenous people to pursue careers in journalism.
Pleased to kick off our guest speaker series for the Growing Indigenous Storytellers Fellowship with the amazing Trina Roache! 🔗: https://t.co/okQJRYT2zg
