Beyond my editorial responsibilities, I work as a media consultant to help news organizations reach more diverse audiences. I also assist with podcast production, provide sensitivity reads, and engage in media outreach. I'm always looking to connect with other passionate media professionals who want to expand their coverage to connect with marginalized communities.
