We hesitated to make this announcement given somber mood. However, AMEJA exists to support Arab & Middle Eastern #journalists and the awards highlight stellar coverage of the region and heritage communities here at home. Our mission is more important than ever (more in 1st slide)

Every Black woman you ask in Mississippi knows someone. Someone who lost a baby or lost their life, or came too close. A friend, a sister, a neighbor, themselves.
Then, on June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled against Mississippi’s abortion clinic.

It's one thing to be a journalist conducting interviews, in control of her own story and how she's perceived. It's another entirely to be on the other end of the mic. My sincere thanks to @monaisk2010 for her respect, insightful questions, good humor, and care.💗
