Photographs I Took At A Free Palestine Rally On May 14, 2021 In Columbus, Ohio. 📸

Some important life lessons I have learned as a college reporter, news editor, and now managing editor.

Can also be applied to academia and other leadership positions!

I finally got my first digital camera!! 

It was the marriage of travel and foreign cultures and curiosity and photography. It was Photojournalism.

Ansel Adams, February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984.

Anne Morrissy Merick (1933-2017) was a pioneer in the field of journalism, especially in advancing women’s rights and opportunities in the field. In 1964, she managed to persuade the Pentagon to reverse an order that would have barred female reporters from accompanying troops on the front lines of the Vietnam War.

She attended Cornell University, and was the first female sports editor at the university. She was well-known for her efforts to fight against sexism in reporting, and published a book on her experiences in 2002.

But when you and I step into the voting booth, we can proudly say: “I am an American, and this vote I am casting is the exercise of my highest privilege and my most solemn duty to my country.”

- Franklin D. Roosevelt, November 4, 1940

On this International Women’s Day, I am paying tribute to Martha Gellhorn, a fearless war reporter whose sagacious dispatches from conflicts spanning the Spanish Civil War to the Vietnam War paved the way for future generations of female journalists.
