My
new community is my family, my top three, M., WUSF and the National Association
of Black Journalists (NABJ). My family always supports me in what I do as long
as it’s benefitting me in a positive and healthy way. They help me rationalize
my thoughts and give me a real world perspective on my goals versus the dreamy
perspective I have sometimes I have. My top three (my best friends) also uplift
me and encourage me which is wonderful to have. Now as far as the journalism
side goes….M., my friends at WUSF and NABJ GO HARD IN THE PAINT! Seriously, as
fellow journalists they want to see me succeed and if I even say, “Oh I was
thinking of taking a different route into broadcasting instead of print” they
will start emailing me job opportunities, fellowship opportunities….EVERYTHING.
M. is especially supportive of all that I do and always encourages me and
pushes me to reach my full potential. He gives me that kick in the butt that I
need…isn’t that what a community is supposed to do?
