COMING SOON, APRIL 2026 - Introducing “From the Pages to the Publisher.” Most of you already know her, but for those who do not, meet the Chicago Defender’s new Publisher’s Page — and the powerhouse behind it, Dyanna Knight Lewis.

You’ve witnessed her leadership. Now get up close and personal as she shares news, perspective, and vision straight from the publisher’s desk.
