Building Communities

aka personal projects that took on a life of their own

A quote from an SLOC column that reads "Too many of us were offered one way to make more money: become a manager. That should not be the case."

Sincerely, Leaders of Color was a bi-weekly column, hosted by OpenNews, where we and guest columnists wrote about leadership, inclusion and culture.

After brainstorming with a friend, I created The Middles, a weekly newsletter for new and emerging leaders. It’s focused on management, work-life balance and productivity.

#wjchat was one of the longest running weekly Twitter chats focusing on journalism. I was one of many co-founders for the chat, which also created an in-person community that met yearly at the Online News Association conference.
