FAQs

Q: Wait, so you're not going to med-school and/or law school? 
A: Nope!  

Q: But then, why journalism? 
A: I love writing. That's the short answer. The longer answer is that I grew up watching, reading and consuming news that never quite managed to represent my own identity and community correctly. I wanted to do something about that. 

Q: What do you report on? 

I’m interested in environmental justice: the intersection of civil rights and environmental issues, or in other words, the idea that where people live and the air they breathe or how frequently their town floods is determined by race and class. More broadly, I’ve reported on climate change and climate science and environmental regulation in Texas. I’m also interested in local environmental histories and preservation. And sometimes, I report on Muslims in America too.

Q: How can I get in touch for a story idea?
