We're joined by bonafide genius and bonafide friend Morgan Elise Johnson! Morgan's the publisher and cofounder of The Triibe, a digital media platform that is reshaping the narrative of Black Chicago and giving ownership back to the people. Their original works in journalism and documentary, alongside creative writing and video, capture the multifaceted essence of the Black experience in pursuit of truth and liberation. Morgan talks about the lessons she's learned pursuing acts of journalism in a media landscape that doesn't center integrity, the ways she's pushed herself and her colleagues to stay grounded in their values, and how she became one of the most influential figures in our city's political scene without striving for inclusion.
