CONGRATULATIONS, Ayana!!!
If y'all heard squeals of delight in the distance over the last 24 hours, it's because the JFP's Ayana Taylor learned that she was accepted to the Academy for Alternative Journalism this summer at Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern in Chicago. This is a HUGE deal, as they only accept 10 applicants a year. We're so proud of Ayana; first she won the AAN diversity grant, and now this. Please congratulate her the next time you see her out and about; she is going to go very far in this business. We can all say we knew her when. Read about the Academy:
