Had a great day at NPR with my students! There was a tour, a panel, and of course we caught a Tiny Desk concert, (but we can’t share those pics until it airs in December!)

From the panel to the people! Unpacking media narratives, racial distortion, and truth-telling at @speechwritersofcolor ’s event. I joined @mfranklin628, @organizermemes, Portia Allen-Kyle of colorofchange, tevonblair and kingwillonius for a conversation on memes, culture, and credibility.

People can’t act on what they can’t access.
To my fellow educators and justice workers: write the journal article AND the meme. Publish the chapter AND the reel. Translate your research into formats people can connect with! When humor or strong emotion is present, messages stick!

Honored to take part in the 2025 Speechwriters of Color Conference today at Planet Word Museum in DC. I’ll be discussing cultural narratives and what strategic communication really means in a time of misinformation. Excited for the conversations, the energy, and the community in this space.

I’ve been writing nonstop! Before finishing my book, I took on a side quest to write a chapter in an edited collection. It’s about how Black media filled the gaps when mainstream coverage failed to show the full impact of COVID-19 on our communities. Excited to finally see this work in print!
