Lovely gathering in The Community Newsroom this evening - a chance for @WIJ_Scotland members to get together and strengthen the network. So many new connections made and so much power in just opening a space to bring people together.
If you work in media in Scotland, and care about tackling exclusionary cultures, hearing from new voices and reflecting the growing women of colour population - then come to this event: https://t.co/7c1dbHyfGh

Congratulations to Chris, who I am genuinely in awe of. Not only has she just got herself a first class degree and a nomination at the Scottish Press Awards, but has also published this amazing magazine. I canโt wait to see what she does next!
As the first person in my entire family to set foot into university, I am beyond happy. Thanks to all who made it possible, including the security guards at @CaledonianNews who always allowed @devon_mccole and I to hide in the George Moore building till late hours. Thank you!
Delighted to be here alongside my @WIJ_Scotland mentee - the phenomenal @copokuaf, founder of @thechritical magazine - who is shortlisted for Student Journalist of the Year!
Honoured to have been interviewed by Juliana of @WomenMigrant, partner of my magazine @thechritical.
Juliana asked me some very interesting questions!
