Creating The New Orleans East Sunshine Weekly is something God told me to do, a Jeremiah 29:11 thing. Aaaallll the years of depression and struggle, aaaallll the times being second runner-up in interview processes, they all brought me HERE! 🧡🗞️☀️

God is good! I’m excited about this new idea I have, something I shoulda BEEN done. It’s ancestral! Now, to figure out how to create a non-profit newsroom. So THAT’S why God had me apply for The Daily Memphian job. To learn about the inner workings.

Had a really great job interview today! I love how God puts me where I need to be. I should mention, the job isn’t in New Orleans.

I’ve tried to work in my native and ancestral land, truly I have. But I keep getting turned down. I need to just let go and let God.

Speaking of raising money, I looked at my spreadsheet and I was still down $1,400 or so. That’s rent. Jesus.

FINALLY DONE MY GOD IN HEAVEN. Praying it’s not too late. That 888 excited me. Lots of little signs that I’m doing OK. Jesus. I gotta start doing coke or something like the other journalists. But I get paid Net 30, so I can’t afford it.
