Quote:
"There is a cliche in journalism, that we are the voices of the voiceless. I do not necessarily believe that we are their voices, but I think it is important to amplify and elevate their voices. It has always been important to me to center the experiences, the voices, and the narratives of those who experience the worst of what America is." -Source
