What I Cover
I cover the intersection of race and higher education. My coverage examines the challenges colleges face as the country becomes more diverse and higher education wrestles with how to recruit, retain, and graduate more students of color. I write about the role of diversity, equity, and inclusion offices on college campuses, and the political fight over those offices’ existence and role in higher education.
My coverage aims to explore how race and the politics of race will shape higher education in the next few years. I am also curious about the changing demographics of the country and how it will shape the future of colleges.
My Background
Before coming to The Chronicle, I helped start a Black-led alternative weekly, the Baltimore Beat. Before that, I covered gun violence in communities of color for The Trace. I was also a staff writer for Governing Magazine, where I produced a four-part series on local governments’ role in segregation. My work has appeared in The Guardian, Playboy, Slate, Baltimore Magazine, and New York magazine.
