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.

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

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
