Engagement journalist focused on community-driven storytelling to address the climate crisis and information issues within marginalized communities.

I stood in the sweaty crowd at Vans Warped Tour in Washington, DC, helping hold strangers above my head, praying my wrists didn’t buckle. Four miles away, men were fighting in a cage on the White House lawn. This month in my free newsletter, The Curious Scout, I connect my first Warped Tour experience, Trump’s UFC White House fight, and America’s 250th anniversary, and the question of whose story gets told, whose gets buried, and who keeps paying the price for our country’s ignorant bliss. As we gather to celebrate this nation’s journey, we are charged with the responsibility of recognizing where we must — and should — do better. https://lnkd.in/e2RbGEUy #Journalism #America250 #IndependentJournalist #BlackWomenInMedia #LocalJournalism #Newsletter #AmericanHistory #VansWarpedTour
