Very proud to share my first story in the Saturday Evening Post about 19th-century orgs formed to fight an unjust U.S. government. Have you heard of vigilance committees? I hadn’t until I learned of them in a Breckenridge history museum saturdayeveningpost.com/2026…

For decades, GILEE has flown Atlanta cops to occupied Palestine to drill with the IOF. Now, Cop City, a rehearsal ground for urban warfare, has been erected on stolen Muscogee land. These parallels are not metaphors. They are supply chains.

In this profile of Charleston Black Lives Matter organizer and Black history tour guide Marcus McDonald, @SheekaJS shares the important role local histories play in shaping our present freedom movements. scalawagmagazine.org/2025/03…
I had a blast chatting with @angieaway about group trips! Thanks to the AAA team for having me on the pod: youtu.be/t9EMPlpIQzg?si
Grateful that my story on Marcus, a Charleston tour guide and BLM community activist won an honorable mention from @natjaorg!

I continue to be impressed with Gen Z, particularly students at schools in the AUC. For Sierra Magazine, I wrote about a BHM hike where students reclaimed Black joy in the outdoors in a space designed for exclusion. sierraclub.org/sierra/reclai…
Happy to share my first story for @outsidemagazine on going gator-spotting & stargazing in Georgia’s swamp (watch the video in the article too!). outsideonline.com/adventure-…

We should have a larger convo about how companies like American Eagle use beautiful people to add glamor to unglamorous products. In 2023, a young Bangladeshi woman committed suicide at a factory that made American Eagle clothes bc of abuse. This is the cost of cheap clothes.

Lots of folks have interviewed me about #Juneteenth over the years. This piece by @SheekaJS is one of my favorites. aarp.org/family-relationship…
Happy Juneteenth!
Keep me in mind as you think about editorial FIFA World Cup coverage for Atlanta. I’ve already hit the ground running with the city’s first travel guide article for the event: matadornetwork.com/read/atla…

Here is what we confirmed: After Musk’s rise to power in the U.S. government, the State Department has repeatedly coaxed, lobbied and browbeat this tiny West African country into giving business to Musk’s satellite company Starlink. propublica.org/article/trump…
I was 17 yo when I found out I had an older sister who was adopted to another family. I’m grateful that atp, we’ve been in touch longer than we’ve been apart. She shares part of her incredible life story here: youtu.be/njjW3UvlYps?si=hDYS…
