The Reporting Desk
I follow the question past the first answer—until the reporting reveals what matters, who carries it and what the record must not lose.
At the anchor desk or in the field, I begin the same way: listen closely, notice what others move past and stay with the story long enough to understand what it is asking of us.

Three projects.
One unfolding return.
Three bodies of work moving at once: a return to self, a public record of Black creative life, culture and identity, and a family investigation that refuses to let time close the case. Together, they trace what it means to come home with your eyes open—and keep reporting from there.
01 · Script and edit in development
Coming Home to Myself
One Year Without a Script
A return to identity, family, wellness and calling—without pretending the financial strain, grief or uncertainty were not part of the road home.
02 · Field reporting · Culture
CultureCon: Museum of Us
At CultureCon, the Museum of Us becomes the Art of You: Black ambition, imagination, style and belonging assembled in public—and a question about what we owe the history we are making together.
Denial at Every Turn
The Story of Ricky Dingle
A case time was supposed to bury. A nephew following the paper trail through punishment, delay, geriatric release and the fight to bring Ricky Dingle home—without reducing either the man or the record to a headline.
The stories gathering around me now have a room of their own.
Some stories arrive as assignments. Others keep gathering around a life until they demand a form of their own. This is the working archive for family memory, witnessed history and questions I cannot responsibly leave behind.
Move the work forward
The desk stays open.
The desk stays open for consequential work with a clear reason to exist. Commission a reported story, build a values-aligned partnership or help fund the records, travel, interviews and production time independent reporting demands.
