Black
Through Slauson Girl Media Group, I bring community perspectives into the conversations shaping Los Angeles. My reporting starts in South Central and reaches across the city, examining how race, gender and power influence everyday life. I connect local stories with history, culture and lived experience to help readers understand the people behind the headlines and the issues that affect their communities.
Rooted in South Central, my reporting centers the people and issues shaping South Los Angeles and the broader Los Angeles area.
I connect local news with the history, culture and lived experiences behind it.
