“Throughout my journalistic career, I have gained experience both at mainstream publications and those that specifically serve readers who are African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and women. Now, my goal, with your help, is to ensure that CCG brings new insight and excitement to its print and Web publications as it documents and celebrates our diverse rising stars, veterans, and pioneers in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Let's get busy!"
