Last night, I was reminded why live storytelling matters so much. Nearly 1,000 strangers came together for The Moth Chicago GrandSLAM.

👏 @wbez.org for supporting real stories, real voices, and real community — exactly when we need them most.

Thank you for being on Speaking of Phenomenal @jillianmelero.bsky.social
Journalism should do more than just report the news — it should help people make sense of it.

Had a great conversation about why I started @connect-puertorico.bsky.social and how journalism can bridge the gap between policy, investment, and community needs.
