My work aims to emphasize local stories and amplify the issues that impact Black communities in throughout Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.In 2022, I was selected to be a part of USC’s 2022 Center for Health Journalism California Fellowship. I spent six months covering the state of Black maternal health in California, specifically throughout San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. I examined the high rate at which Black birthing people die compared to their White counterparts and highlighted solutions to address the crisis: implementing doulas into the Medi-Cal.In 2021, I was chosen as a Report for America Corps member which afforded me the opportunity to join the team at Black Voice News. Since joining the newsroom, I have written dozens of articles that focus on enlightening the community about COVID-19, existing health disparities in the region as well as social and economic issues that impact the community. I graduated from Report for America in 2024 after completing three years in the program.In 2020, I completed my Master's degree in Politics and Communication from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
