2. Tina MacIntyre-Yee
Designation Multimedia Journalist Author Bio I cover just about everything and sometimes even write stories. I see myself as a multimedia journalist, reporting the story many ways; words, photos and video. My favorite way of reporting the story though is visually. My other "job" is a Girl Scout leader. I love introducing new things to the troop, showing them that it doesn't matter how young you are, you can make a difference. I also like to impress on them that "boy" activities or interests can also be girl activities and interests. In many ways it's a parallel to how I approach journalism. Stories aren't just about o...ne segment of the community, it's about everyone.more

9. Justice Marbury
Designation Reporter Author Bio As soon as Justice entered the world of photojournalism, she knew that she had to create work where her voice would be heard; her voice, the voice of a Black individual, and the voice of a woman. She knew that this was an industry which for a long time has used outsider voices to tell the stories about communities of people like her. She became frustrated by this absence in the field of visual storytellers. After learning that she could combine her passions of community, art, education, and intellectual conversation to promote change, Justice put her frustrations towards a desire to impact cha...nge. She began to create works that have focused on struggles, stereotypes, and prejudices that her community has faced on a daily basis, while also celebrating Black excellence and culture.more
