It's given me space to build and grow my abilities and talents. This year I am excited to create new content, meet new people, and graduate in Spring 2023! GO GREEN!"

"NABJ has helped me grasp the true meaning of being a journalist. The virtual meetings have me obtain how to create a resume, cover letter and pitch to outlets. Working with other ambitious black writers has brought my confidence level up. When hesitating to apply to something I would see encouraging messages from other group members that motivated me to push behind my limits. Because of this group I have landed the position of “lifestyle writer” for VIM MSU. "
