Goooood morning, friends! Welcome back to the Kicks You Wear. Thanks for rocking with me this morning. I appreciate y’all. Guys.

Good morning, fam! Welcome back to the Kicks You Wear. Thanks so much for giving me some of your time today. Appreciate you. WNBA draft tonight, y’all! Lock in! My Mystics need to nail this draft. The Spirit can’t be the only good sports team in D.C. this summer. HOUSEKEEPING: KYW will be out next Monday for Easter. Enjoy the holiday if you celebrate. If not, I'm sure someone is grilling. Find some good food. I’m rambling. Let’s get it.

Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

My first unprofessional journalist job was as a broadcaster for Bowie State's Metro News Report.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No. I'm 22. I don't think I've ever even seen one.

How is social media changing news?

It makes things faster. News comes out faster than ever now. You can break a story through a tweet. That's insane, but very true.
