It's not lost on me that the start of #PRIDE coincides with these #BlackLivesMatter demonstrations. Because for those of us both Black and LGBTQ+, neither community has done what it needs to do to affirm our humanity. None of us are free unless we're all free.

we ask reporters, especially reporters of color, to walk towards horror and trauma everyday and there's very little discussion on the long term effects of that. in addition to everything else, newsrooms need to prioritize the mental health of their employees.
