We cannot build Black press freedom on shrinking budgets. We need bold, creative, values-aligned revenue to thrive.
As your President, I will:
Cultivate mission-driven funders who understand NABJ’s role in defending democracy and diversifying media.
Develop branded partnerships and member-supported campaigns that reinforce our independence.
Leverage my relationships in philanthropy, media, and cultural spaces to bring new resources to the table — for programs, fellowships, and staff capacity.
Why now?
We need more than dues and conferences. We need a funding strategy that matches our vision — and I have the proven leadership to get results.
