I'm looking for contributors for @scalawagmag (Black-led, woman-run nonprofit media in the South) in AL & MS.
If you're a journalist — or wanting to do some journalism — from those states, drop your name below.

I have been an @AmberAbundance fan for a long time. Her IG is destination media. I look forward to her dominating media, politics or horticulture — whatever she decides. One listen to this week’s @HearToSlay and you too will be a believer. https://t.co/aJD6bCMI0j
