#NABJWebinar: Preserving the Homefront: Stories to Be Told About Homeowner Inequities 20 Years Post-Katrina | Powered by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
#NABJWebinar: Preserving the Homefront: Stories to Be Told About Homeowner Inequities 20 Years Post-Katrina | Powered by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
As we approach the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, this webinar will equip journalists with key insights for their coverage. Attendees will be empowered with information on how residents have dealt with recovery and how communities of color remain disproportionately impacted, especially when natural disasters strike, by essential access to resources for home protection and preservation. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is partnering with athlete ambassadors and media organizations to bring light to these issues.
NFL linebacker Demario Davis (New Orleans Saints) will join RWJF Associate General Counsel, Impact Investments Dr. Ruth Gao and Louisiana Appleseed Board President Sharonda Williams for this special conversation. CBS News Congressional Correspondent Nikole Killion will serve as the moderator.
The discussion will also reflect on personal experiences and stories of hurricane relief efforts and dive deeper into the impact of structural discrimination in housing processes such as troubled titles and heirs' properties, which have long impacted communities of color in the Gulf Coast region.

#NABJWebinar: Beyond the Byline: Elevating Black Influence on Corporate Boards | Powered by 100 Black Voices
As trusted storytellers and advocates for truth, Black journalists possess the critical thinking, communication expertise, and societal awareness that boards urgently need to address today’s challenges.
This session aims to empower attendees to expand their influence beyond the newsroom, challenge systemic barriers, and ensure that Black voices are heard at the highest levels of decision-making.
The webinar explores key trends in board diversity, practical resources to prepare for board service, and a call to action for aspiring board members to start their journey. Barry Lawson Williams will emphasize the importance of current board members using their networks to refer others, as 85% of board appointments come through personal connections. Attendees will also learn how to hold corporate America accountable for ensuring their boards reflect the diverse customer base they serve. Despite efforts to cut DEI programs, this discussion highlights why diversity is not just a moral issue—it’s a business imperative.
#NABJWebinar: You Joined a (Journalism) Union. Now What?
Journalism unions can be powerful advocates for reporters throughout their careers. However, the strength of union protections depends on the strength of its collective members. The wave of enthusiasm that ushered unions into new newsrooms and sparked “Hot Strike Summer” has begun to wane, but mass layoffs and cost cuts across the industry make collective bargaining more important than ever.
