Today, the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies posted a story about the diversity grant just received by Thabi Moyo here at the JFP and by Doron Monk Flake in New Haven, Conn. They say about Thabi and the JFP:
A native of Jackson, Miss., Moyo attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she honed the skills necessary to pursue her interests in photojournalism and documentary filmmaking.
Moyo has already contributed to "Project ‘Hood," Jackson Free Press's effort to report on its town's different communities neighborhood by neighborhood. She will be the primary photojournalist for this ongoing project, on which she will work closely with the paper's best photographers.
"She knows the city, and she has studied elsewhere and gained a wider frame of reference," Jackson Free Press editor-in-chief Donna Ladd wrote in her Diversity Internship Program application. "I'm not sure anybody has walked through our door more enthusiastic about what we're accomplishing here."
