One of my career goals this year was to speak publicly about things that matter to me. Today I helped train newsrooms on how to welcome new hires and consider personal bias with these incredible orgs.

How can #nonprofitnews organizations build a long-term, sustainable fundraising strategy? Our latest case study shows how @SahanJournal leveraged @NewsMatch to more than double individual contributions in just one year. https://t.co/4CLLckoaYj

So happy to see a Hmong woman not only competing at this level, but taking gold! We love you Sunisa!

[Nancy Yang @n_yang]

Every once in a while, traffic spikes on this FAQ I did about the #Hmong several years ago. I assume this time it's because people are reading about Sunisa Lee and wanting to know more about Hmong people. Here it is if you're interested in learning more: https://t.co/Vt0E28M2PH

There's still time to apply for NPR's @nextgenradio program at KUER! This program laid the groundwork for my career in media and gave me chance to explore a different medium. If you're a student in Utah or a recent grad, apply! And please reach out if you have any questions.

[KUER 90.1 @KUER]

Alumna @katherinekellis & @palak_jayswal from Next Generation Radio share their thoughts on their time with the program. Applications close on Friday, July 16. #NPRNextGenerationRadio https://t.co/AbbO3iNsxa

My last story for @KUER was just published. Feeling bittersweet about this milestone, but glad I got to shine some light on this awesome project. I think it's a fitting way to end two years of reporting aimed at highlighting the good in San Juan County.

It's still AAPI Heritage Month! Here's a story that might surprise you: Did you know there used to be a Japantown in Salt Lake?

"People should know that we are a multicultural society here in Salt Lake and we've been a multicultural society here for over 100 hundred years.”

[Sonja Hutson @SonjaHutson]

“It was a kind of erasure of whatever Japanese-American community existed."

Salt Lake City's Japantown was largely destroyed to build the Salt Palace in the 60s.

🌸Now, community leaders are working with the city to revitalize what's left of it.🌸

in case you are also experiencing "Existential Dread On A Tuesday," may we direct you to a really fun conversation we had with @THEKIDMERO? Here are some of our favorite moments from the episode to cure what ails you👇🏾 https://t.co/p8R2Vtqgox

"I do think, as a writer, there's always a way to change minds and hearts, even when it comes to race. A story requires you to enter an imaginary world of a different person in different circumstances." @AmyTan discusses the power of storytelling. https://t.co/7pYe0KJoXd

The @UUtah is launching a workshop this summer for teachers to update their curriculum around Indigenous people and culture. The 4-week program will help develop more culturally respectful and accurate lessons about the country’s Indigenous people.

Oh this thread 👏

[Jessica Huseman @JessicaHuseman]

You want someone to cover a brand new, under-covered beat and help you fill a necessary hole in your newsroom? Commit to them. Develop them. Pay them a reporters salary, and help them flourish. Don’t relegate them to a temporary job and praise yourself for doing so.

I know sometimes webinars can seem like just *another* thing to do in the time of zoom, but consider joining @currentpubmedia's Local that Works Webinars! @mariana_dale is an excellent host and in today's webinar, @d_holli was so inspiring.
