We’re out of here! Thanks Loyola University Chicago for the hospitality, but it’s time for our Report for America corps members to take what they learned at #RFAGathers22 back to their local newsrooms. The future is bright for local journalism!!

I never want to meet anyone through a zoom meeting ever again. Coming into my 3rd year with Report for America made me realize how much the pandemic really took from us. Getting to meet so many corps members in person was such a refreshing experience.

Thank you Megan Sayles & AFRO News afro.com! I grew up seeing and reading copies of “The Afro” in my church & barbershop. I remember flipping through the pages seeing images & descriptions of prominent leaders who looked like me. I never imagined then that I would one day be among them.
