You know if you’re in a public place you can be photographed without consent, right? You can’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy walking on a public street.

Lol how? Punta, salsa, cumbia, merengue, rumba, Bomba, samba and bachata all have afro rooted influence. The only music in Latin America that isnt is all the Northern Mexican music.
As much as I think that Punk show on the BART train was cool, if this was a Bay Area Rap act it would be received a whole lot differently by residents and local media.

Let's be real bruh, what makes those style of music move? What gives them their base? The rhythm. And it if weren't for those African roots in the rhythm, call and response and communal aspect, we would be devoid of what makes those types of music uniquely ours.

We can agree to disagree. Imo not celebrating the African rooted influences in all of our culture, not just music, & justifying it as "it was only part of the 'whole equation' of the culture" instead of as its own is an example of the lack convo regarding race in Latin America.

I've spoken to family members who have gone thru blatant racism in our home countries. I dont really need a professor to help me open my mind and process not only personal testimony but also documentation of how things operated from the colonial period to independence to now 🤷🏽♂️
Just finished my Hearst Fellowship interview. Regardless of the outcome, Im proud to say that out of 200 nationwide applicants this East Bay kid made it to the final cut of 16. If you would have told me that 3 years ago I would have laughed you out of the room. Truly thankful.

Lmao I cant wait for KD and Kyrie, the two biggest media whiners, to realize how good they had it in their previous markets when the NY media goes for that neck. This reminds me of when Randy Johnson was in NY and was busy smackin cameramen cuz his personality didnt fit the city.
Today is my last official day as a Hearst Fellow. For the last two years I’ve been to Houston and back, learning a lot and still realizing I have a lot to learn. I have a police accountability story for the

Usually don’t share personal stuff on Twitter but if y’all can say a prayer for both sides of my family. My 103-year-old great grandmother from my dad’s side fell last weekend and her condition has worsened over this past week. My mom’s stepfather also passed away last night.
Tomorrow, I start my new role as an express desk reporter for the

My older cousin sent me a text today congratulating me on graduating. I didn’t realize it but he told em on my dad’s side 🇭🇳 I’m the first male to graduate from any university. He told me that I’m “inspiring many generations to come” 😭 bruh
Do any of you out there in the Twitter Journalism world get feelings that if you aren't working constantly you're not being productive enough? And if you do, how do you combat those feelings? How do you try and balance the work in this industry and healthy work habits?
