Black Journalists with Substacks for Essence Girls United Feature

JOURNO REQUEST: The media landscape keeps shrinking, but the stories aren’t stopping — they’re just finding new homes. I’m currently curating a list of Black writers and journalists who launched Substacks after being laid off or leaving traditional media for an upcoming Essence Girls United story. If you know someone building their own newsroom through Substack — covering culture, politics, lifestyle, or something beautifully niche — drop their Substack below, tag them, or DM me a link. Let’s help readers discover (and support) the voices still shaping our stories, even when the industry won’t make room for them. 🖤✍🏾 #layoffs #blackjournalist #substack
