Myth Busting Covid: Fact or Fiction?

SDABJ President Keith Bryant's 2021 Greeting

Dear SDABJ, I’m deeply honored and humbled to become your next president of this organization. Since moving to San Diego last year, this chapter has welcomed me in with open arms and shown me what it means to advocate for Black journalists. I’m very excited about this next chapter with SDABJ. I’m committed to SDABJ’S mission of strengthening ties among Black journalists, mentoring young journalists, and expanding job opportunities and recruiting activities for our community. My goal is to continue the exemplary work that SDABJ has done the last year and build on it with more programming to help everyone grow and build their journalist toolbox. I also want this organization to be an advocate for Black content creators and communication professionals in the realms of marketing, public relations and so much more. Though we’re living in unprecedented times, I believe leadership, teamwork, and a positive attitude will help us make 2021 an incredible year for our organization. My life motto is to "be a rainbow in someone's cloud" and with SDABJ, my goal is to use whatever influence I have to uplift Black people throughout San Diego County. Again, thank you for this amazing opportunity and I promise to make all of you proud. Sincerely, Keith Bryant

Happy 2021 From SDABJ!

As challenging as 2020 has been, it’s also been a very blessed year for SDABJ. Because 2020 happened to be the 20th anniversary of SDABJ (#SDABJ20), we had hoped to have a big gala in celebration. But 2020 had other plans 🤦🏾‍♀️ Fortunately, we were able to pivot & instead celebrate, raise funds, grant scholarships & so much more via Zoom 💻 Yes, we are grateful that 2020 turned out to be a good year for us. None of it would have been possible without our members, our donors & supporters. We thank you 🙏🏾, we appreciate you 🤗 and we wish you a very Happy New Year! 🥳

SDABJ thanks our friends at the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation (Sycuan Tribe) for their $600 donation to our scholarship fund. Your generosity will help educate future journalists and we sincerely appreciate you 🙏 https://sdabj.org/archives/3898
