I’m the host and producer of this documentary about the Mississippi Delta Chinese video & also cultural consultant on @SinnersMovie! Ryan Coogler and his team were meticulous about the details—truly an honor to see nonfiction enter the fiction space in this spectacular way.

So sad to hear that Eastwind Books is closing. They looked for a buyer… which means… maybe there is still a chance for someone to swoop in and keep it open? berkeleyside.org/2023/03/21/…

No time to share @The_IIJ conference yesterday, so here's a taste of the wisdom & advice from our amazing speakers.
@ashtonlattimore "Be fearless"
@amberwaves "Find something unique"
@drvarg01 "Be nice. I'm a person too."
@knguyen "You need 1 great clip" theiij.com

So much wisdom today from the amazing @lynellgeorge. When freelancing, find "your people," the ones who always remind you of who you are. Remember, a job is not your identity. Also, taking a rest from writing does not = "rusty." @The_IIJ
Enlightening conversation between Adrienne Martin of @MLK50Memphis and @lynellgeorge on winning community trust, surviving layoffs, and building a sustainable long-term journalism career. Like a college seminar on creative work & life. #freelance #journalism
Can’t wait for this tomorrow!

An entire female high school volleyball team gone in 80 seconds, a father looks for his son in a field hospital. He knows he won’t find him. 2 Toddlers moving under rubble but an uncle is unable to get to them. He watches them wave their hands for 2 days until they stopped moving
