Georgia News Lab Internship
"The Georgia News Lab is an award-winning investigative reporting collaborative. It is a partnership between some of the top college journalism programs in Georgia along with two of the leading news outlets in the Southeast, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and WSB-TV, Channel 2 Action News. The News Lab’s dual mission is making the vital work of investigative reporting affordable for news organizations and increasing diversity in professional newsrooms. In training a new generation of diverse investigative reporters the News Lab helps news outlets better serve the public and bring marginalized voices into the public debate."

During my time in Georgia News Lab, from August 2019 to May 2020, I gained many skills as an investigative reporter. Our work centered around voting and the electoral process, with one specific area of focus concerning how Covid affected the voting process.
Hosting HonesTea @ Owl Radio
As co-host of HonesTea I created the show schedule, came up with segment ideas, managed social media, and booked guests. On the weekly live show, Carson and I covered local and global news and pop culture, provided radical political commentary, and told a few too many dad jokes.
We interviewed rappers, activists, a journalist, a mental health expert, and Nicole Paige Brooks from RuPaul's Drag Race.

Interning at the Georgia Voice

As a reporter, my favorite moments included meeting the workers and youth of Lost N Found, a local nonprofit fighting homelessness among LGBT+ youth. I also had the privilege of speaking to Queer activists Liliana Bakhtiari and Tracee McDaniel about their amazing work. I spoke to Tatiana Rafael, who is making history as the first open, fully-transitioned trans woman to graduate from Morehouse College.
