Thank @soledadobrien. You taught me how to treat others.#rae4nabj2025
Hi everyone-- I'm a lifetime member of NABJ and I wanted to let you all know that I am endorsing Raelyn Johnson's candidacy for Vice President of Broadcast. I first met Raelyn over a decade ago when she helped produce my acclaimed CNN documentary series “Black in America." Since then, I have watched Raelyn play an instrumental role in covering major breaking news stories and launching journalism projects, platforms (and even a network!!!). She has also been relentless in her quest to open doors for countless journalists of color and diverse backgrounds—something that you all know is very near to my heart. Raelyn has consistently risen to meet the moment in a rapidly changing broadcast landscape and somehow she manages it all while displaying complete grace under pressure. She is the embodiment of the right kind of leadership and fresh voice to help lead NABJ into the future and today I want to add my voice to her choir of admirers.

A champion at life. Black women in America play with excellence and grace on the hardest courts, in front of the hardest crowds, every day without complaint. What Reese describes here is something beyond resilience; she fights for herself, her team and the girls watching her.
Answering @Erica_L_Ayala’s question after listening to her teammates stand up for her during the postgame press conference, an emotional Angel Reese:
