September, you really did the damn thing. 🪩✨ Dancing on my own? Not with this crew.

DC, I turn to you every time. 🕺🏽

(See what I did there? 😂)

Another @nabjofficial convention in the books! When Journalism, history, the Black press, integrity in media reporting and truth telling in our stories are all under attack, NABJ is where we congregate for solace, refuge, restoration and celebration. Atlanta owes me absolutely nothing.

Thank you to my old friends, classmates and colleagues who pick up where we left off. And thank you to the new connections who share freely, making introductions and building relationships that help us all succeed in our chosen paths. I missed my girls @adcambron @maryag23 & @brittanyjjacob but next year in Houston, it is 🆙

The BLACK JOURNALISTS Family Reunion was EPIC! Had such a great time welcoming journalists, storytellers, and media professionals from across the country to my city. And the best part? I didn’t have to go far!🔥

One thing about me, I’m going to find something to do. This weekend had a little bit of everything — game day in Baltimore, some much-needed self-care, a little gaming, brunch, art, and quality time with friends. Honestly, these are the weekends I love most when I can experience something new, eat something good, and make a few memories along the way.

#NABJ26 — Batch 1.

Another year. Another room full of people I’m grateful to know, learn, and somehow survive this conference with.

I spoke.
I led.
I laughed.
I felt A LOT — and these 20 photos don’t cover it.

Every year reminds me that this work, these people, and these moments matter.

Batch 2 coming sooner than later… but for now, here’s your reminder: every year counts. Every moment counts. And the people you share them with count even more.

Houston, we’ll see you in 2027.

SN: Can I PLEASE get a round of applause in the comments for me conquering the Tamia dance?!

Your boy was in the trenches.

This was my 14th #NABJ Conference. It was so wonderful to see all the friends I’ve made in this business along the way. And it was even more special to be able to celebrate it in my hometown where I’m now working ❤️

The Washington Association of Black Journalists, the largest chapter of NABJ, had a wonderful time in Atlanta, with over 150 attendees flying in from the DC region.

Congratulations to all of our #NABJ26 award winners. Thank you to the Atlanta Association of Black Journalists @aabjorg for a great time. More photos on the way!
