Founder
I elevate stories from Black and brown communities, driving social change through impactful journalism.
My days are unpredictable, blending content creation with leadership tasks. I manage the company, from coordinating our weekly news program to supporting creatives with grants. Breaking news can swiftly shift my schedule, demanding immediate community engagement. Daily tasks involve everything from strategic meetings to impromptu story chasing, underlining the dynamic nature of leading a media company committed to amplifying marginalized voices.
