I have nothing but love for journalists who are members of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists as well as the newly formed National Association of Black Journalists Philadephia. PABJ has split from the national organization. As a result, a group has formed the separate Philadelphia affiliate of the NABJ. A few weeks ago, I spoke with members of the NABJ Philly about why they decided to form the affiliate. Today I speak to Ernest Owens, President of PABJ about why they broke with NABJ.

First, Stress, depression and grief is on the increase during the holiday season, especially among people in African Diaspora communities. That’s why the 988 African Diaspora Campaign, in partnership with State Sen. Sharif Street, is sponsoring a “Conversation with the Black Community: Breaking the Stigma & Healing the Trauma,” Saturday, Dec. 9 from 10:00AM to 1:00PM at the Temple Liacouras Center, 1776 N. Broad Street, Philadelphia. I speak to Senator Street and Marily Kai Jewett speaking on behalf of the 988 African Diaspora Campaign.
