Nearly a month ago, I left my data editor job at @KPCC @LAist. I decided that the best way for me to continue to effect the change I want to see in newsrooms today, as a journalist and a Black woman, was to leave. To that end, I’ve struck out on my own. 1/7


I was really thrilled to write this freelance piece for @NewAmerica. Accountability for how #PublicInterestTech tools serve people and who they ultimately serve is key to ensuring accessibility and equity, especially for the most vulnerable groups.

Producing #Racism101 with @lovely_giuliana was one of the best experiences I've ever had as an editor. I felt like we really made an impact and started some really important convos. Visit laist.com/racism101 to see the project. And, read about how it all unfolded:

Friend and former colleague @AndyJacobsohn is doing ALL the work. Support him and @DeepIndigoCo!

As newsrooms and their budgets continue to shrink, this work is vital. The launch of @DeepIndigoCo is the culmination of more than a year hard work and collaboration and I'm so happy to know @AndyJacobsohn and support his efforts. Congrats, dude. #ClimateCrisis
