The Black Twitter Show

For a journalism class focused on YouTube, I made a series of videos focusing on the day-to-day conversations, controversies and news stories that circulate Black Twitter and how I see them and why I see them that way. I also give commentary on how different sub-groups see these matters and why.
Pride in a Pandemic

Joints for Jabs

Podcast Audio/Video Production
2020
This was my first experience in podcasting and I completely fell in love with it. I helped produce Pulse’s podcast: Everyday People. As a media student, it is extremely interesting to witness the comeback of radio but through the internet on mobile platforms. Also the rise of investigative and analytical podcasts interests me as I pursue my own career in investigative journalism.
