We Are Black Journos Podcast We Are Black Journos

With a new year ahead, we hear from our founder on current thoughts, and plans for more collaborations this year..

A joyful summary of a year that really showed the journey and several highlights through the We Are Black Journos community 2022 really looked out for us.



Also, an announcement from us!



Thank you for continuing to ride with this community.

Inspirational  journalist and friend of WABJ, Charlene White, once said to us in a talk: 'as a journalist, you should travel. Get out of your area!' - and it couldn't be more fitting for our two guests in this episode.



Shamaàn Freeman-Powell and Zahra Warsame both took the admiral plunge to take their dreams and inspirations far away from their homes, and share their inspiring journeys so far, no filter included.

We Are Black Journos are super happy to announce season 2 is here! It will be full of incredibly refreshing voices of Black journalists in the media space and beyond.



The theme for seaosn 2 challenges the stereotype of Black journalists being change makers, but rather themselves.



Watch this space.
