Reporter, NBC BLK

I proudly write intensely and almost exclusively about Black life, culture, issues and people in a way that informs and advances the conversation and provides context to sometimes complex concerns. I go where the story is, including spending a night on a plantation, to elevate the subject. The work is heavy at times, but it's mostly rewarding because there's no greater gratification than helping inform an electorate.
