Looking forward to joining this group of brilliant folks to discuss why merging research and practice is much needed during this critical juncture.

I’m looking forward to visiting Philly this week to speak at the Kiyoshi Day Symposium. Kiyoshi was a pathfinder, steward, and liberator of information that marginalized communities used to empower themselves. His legacy is remarkably aligned with #communitymedia

The Objective x News Futures Magazine In a new collaboration between The Objective and News Futures, 14 practitioners share their perspectives on building local, participatory, and durable information systems for the next decade.

Been working on something special: a collaboration with brilliant folks thinking hard about how to make local media equitable, sustainable, and community-centered. “It’s Time for Civic Media” drops soon - grab your copy! objectivejournalism.org/civic-media-...

And so it begins. Happy start of the Fall 2025 semester (with some local wisdom)! 🐊Highlight of the day: Discovering the UF Pan-Hellenic Council circle and reflecting on my family’s Divine 9 legacy. Also saw few other views that captured my attention during my post-lunch walk.

I really enjoyed #ICA2025 this year. Catching up with my academic peers and mentors 🤗, presenting my research 👨🏾‍🏫, winning an Outstanding Dissertation award 🌟, connecting with my UF College of Journalism and Communications colleagues 🐊, and catching glimpses of Denver. Very fulfilling 😊

Psyched to see @cratebeats.bsky.social present his solid work on the media history of Black public-access TV @icahdq @ICA_History #ICA25

Thank you for your support! 🙏🏾

This is where we are.

I caught myself explaining something real thoughtful to a grad student today. I couldn’t believe I was saying something so smart with such confidence. It was damn near an out-of-body experience. I was witnessing myself explain something using logic I learned in grad school 😂🤓

Act II, Scene 1. Happy Spring Semester 2025!

Thank you

I spent last night editing the obit for a dear family member who taught me how edit. Talk about full-circle generational care 🫶🏾🙏🏾🥺
