Excited to announce that I have been named a Rising Star finalist in the Atlanta Press Club Awards, while "A Walk through Weelaunee Forest" by Alex Edwards, which challenges the City of Atlanta's lies about "Cop City", is a finalist in the Photo Essay category.

Entries were judged by volunteers from the Los Angeles Press Club on quality of content, demonstrated reportorial skill, and the impact of their work.

Congrats to other finalists, including friends of The Xylom Max Blau, Sophia Qureshi, Arvin Temkar, and Emily Wu Pearson!
