Experience #EWA23 Through Tweets

My first-ever time at @EdWriters has been all I’d hoped for and more! It’s been amazing to connect with great folks on the same beat these past few days. #EWA23 pic.twitter.com/s0E1IS7iZT

Having TWO black male journalists in a conversation on the main stage at #ewa23 is historic and truly long overdue. Kudos @EdWriters for this fascinating conversation between #LeroyChapmanJr from @ajc and Wayne Carter from @NBCDFW. pic.twitter.com/sfaqox5Pbv

@EdWriters conference was a whirlwind! I learned, I laughed, I typed. And despite what this picture shows, I promise I made some new friends 😂 #EWA23 https://t.co/P9XeHKvu2p

Not to brag, but @KavithaCardoza told me I’m the reason we got #EWA23 stickers ✨ pic.twitter.com/Slc22o3iHD

Good gravy you guys, this Gen Z student voice panel #EWA23? These youth produced documentaries about Selma, held a school board to heel, started a Bay Area startup, killed a ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill and contributed to their local newspapers.

I’m back in DC and wanted to say that @EdWriters owes me nothing! It was such an honor to be a speaker on racial inequities in school funding and to be in the room among such distinguished journalists and reporters telling important stores about education. #EWA23 pic.twitter.com/06ZxIMFs4o

#EWA23 did not disappoint!! Such a pleasure to meet new people, catch up with old friends and colleagues and go home with a (very heavy 😅) award!! Until next time, @EdWriters! ✈️ pic.twitter.com/eScAncOuy9

Heading back to CLE with lots of story and source ideas after #EWA23! I’m feeling extra inspired after seeing all of the important work being done on this beat nationwide.

The best part, though, was spending quality IRL time with some of my talented @opencampusmedia squad. ❤️📰 pic.twitter.com/bwAOpAJqgV

Top takeaways from #EWA23:

1. There are so many incredibly smart, talented, passionate journalists trying to tell the stories of our nation’s children.

2. I am damn lucky to have amazing people in my camp.
