Adopting Journalism for Social Justice

These stories were first written from late 2017-June 2018. It was while I was a freelance journalist with The People's World (PW). The amazing group of editors there helped flush out my voice with stories I knew needed to be read. While at PW I was humbled to see my stories time and time again be the most clicked/read stories of the week. Most of my stories had 1000's of hits a day for over 5 days in a row constantly. I always said, it is the combination of a good nose for a story and the great editing team I shared which was a winning combination.
