When the President of NABJ calls your name, you feel the weight of the mission even more. We received recognition during the 2026 NABJ Convention - and we carry that forward into every piece of research, every resource, and every digital space we build for Black communities.

NABJ handed out 5 Thumbs Down Awards this year. Stephen A. Smith grabbed the headlines, but CBS News, The Washington Post, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, and a local TV station owner also made the list. Harmful coverage of Black communities runs through media at every level.

On August 6, 1965, organizing, sacrifice, and extraordinary courage forced America to confront the disenfranchisement of Black voters. In 2026, that victory faces direct attack. Gutted federal protections are actively working to dilute Black political power across the country.

Viral does not mean verified. A post can rack up millions of views and still be misleading, incomplete, or completely false. Before you share it, pause. Check the source. Look for context. Confirm the facts. Popularity is not proof.

Raeon Artez had always been creative. He just had not built a platform around it yet. A successful video brought him back to content creation and being around other creators at Essence Fest reminded him how powerful the right community can be.

Black communities turned basic ingredients into something magical. Kam spoke with culinary creator Sonja Norwood about her work recovering lost Black American recipes—and how Aisha can help preserve the history carried through our kitchens. #OnyxImpact #AskAisha

He said Philly. 🔴🔵 LeBron James to the 76ers is official - and the NBA will never be the same. The King picked the City of Brotherly Love to write his final chapter, and we have questions. Is a championship coming to Broad Street? Is this the move that cements his GOAT argument forever?

Ryan Clark won an Emmy for ESPN. He is a world class sports analyst and a leader in telling the truth about Black athletes, Black leadership, and the full scope of what sports actually mean. But that excellence was too much for ESPN.

Now more than ever, we need to lean in, not pull back. But true strength lies in coming together and leaning in even when it feels useless. The fight for liberation continues. Should we drop this full conversation? Let us know below.

Success leaves clues. John Rogers Jr. has spent 43 years building one of America's most respected investment firms. Asked about comparisons to Warren Buffett, his response was gratitude. Black excellence is built through consistency, expertise, and decades of showing up.

When contracts disappear, the impact doesn’t stop with one business. These losses ripple across families, neighborhoods and local economies—weakening the institutions that help communities build and sustain economic power. Learn more at BlackoutReport.org.
