I stepped a little outside of my comfort zone to make this but it had to be done.

Fellow journos, how do you respond to trolls who accuse you of lying for a living?

@theadorajean Yes, it’s definitely showcases its fair share of racism... Glad to hear you’re well! I just finished my first term of the PhD program, so I am happy with that. Now I’m spending time with my family for Christmas. Here’s wishing you a merry one!!
