@FreshLookEdit Hello! 😁

@Mschristinema I'm here! :) Well, more of a journalist. Wait, are you talking about video editor or journalism editor? 😬

@dinoray I used to be a newspaper copy editor, so I have a background in journalism. I work mostly on books now, though. Happy to connect! Looking forward to reading your work!

@Mschristinema Happy to meet you! I am a film & TV journalist in LA that used to work at Deadline. Also was an old school journo working at Oakland Tribune and other print pubs in the Bay Area like SF Chronicle. I launched my media platform DIASPORA in 2021 and it focuses on historically marginalized folx in Hollywood!

Glad to connect!

DIASPORA is not a trade publication, but it is trade adjacent. It is a digital publication for everyone — specifically for gatekeepers who need to hear this news that gets eclipsed by the dominant culture.

@SoniaSulaiman Oh! That sounds exciting!

@Mschristinema Yep! It's an anthology of Palestinian short stories. I'm so lucky to have found a publisher who is just as excited about the project as I am.

@Mschristinema Woo-hoo! Former #newspaper #copyeditor here, tho I left the industry 10+ years ago. Now an #editor and project manager for a research nonprofit. (And we’re always looking for contract editors; APA style knowledge a must.)

@jamteayang It's so nice to meet you! You're in Philly! I used to live there (in Chinatown, so I miss the food a lot). Now I'm farther north, near Allentown.

@Mschristinema The good eating in Chinatown is my absolute favorite part of being in Philly, for sure 😄

@Mschristinema there aren’t many of us in existence. Kinda like unicorns…we editors of color must band together!
