Monday morning in NYC and I’m still laughing at the funniest moments from Saturday’s @newmarkjschool Alumni Homecoming keynote event with @maggiefreleng, interviewed by @AlanaLlama. Brilliant conversation, and makes me want to binge the Suave podcast all over again. #newmarkj
Shout out to my fellow #NewmarkJ class of 2012 alum @sarahmkazadi speaking on how to navigate not being heard in the newsroom as a journalist of color. While it differs for everyone 1) Sarah left the company where she was working for a place that better aligned with her values
Love listening to two phenomenal @newmarkjschool alum in conversation at our first in-person homecoming since the pandemic. @AlanaLlama, ‘10 interviews Pulitzer Prize winner @maggiefreleng, ‘15 who hosted Suave.
A new alumni Q&A is out. 🤩
@aishola '08, award-winning journalist and author of "Patience Is a Subtle Thief" talks to us about the impact she's making in her career, lessons learned, and more. ↓
