Week Two: Looking Forward
In just five days, we have gotten to interview a club manager and a historic ambassador while piecing together the first video for Voice News Now, a multimedia platform we curate for The Atlanta Voice.
Week Two: Just Do It
We took a tour of the building and got to see their brand new studio center. That was when all the bells started going off! As someone who loves video production, I instantly was creating content ideas in my head.
My Second Week at the Atlanta Voice
Our video initiative, Voice News Now, has really started to flourish. We have produced videos for Juneteenth, The Georgia “Fetal Heartbeat” Abortion Law, and the Bird Scooter controversy in Atlanta.
Week 2: DC Living
This week we visited Ben’s Chili Bowl, a Black-owned restaurant that’s been present in the city upward for more than 60 years. We also traveled to the White House and were surprised by all the demonstrations we saw. We walked the Washington Mall and saw the Lincoln Memorial. I read Lincoln’s inauguration and Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech to myself while there (nerd things). It was great to simply have some American pride and bask in the beauty of the country.
Week Two: A Lot More Rewarding
Washington D.C. has the worst traffic I have ever experienced in my life. I have a lot of frustration with the amount of time it takes to get anywhere, but it’s very cool to live in a new place and experience a new city. This was a hectic week, but I look forward to what’s coming.

My experience during the Discover the Unexpected fellowship was everything I hoped it would be, and so much more. There are no words to express the amount of gratitude I have for each individual that I came in contact with during the program. I cannot thank them enough for all that they taught me. They inspired me, motivated me, and gave me unwavering support. During the fellowship, I gained a new perspective on life that superseded the articles I wrote, the beautiful sunburst colored Chevrolet Equinox I got to drive, or even the amazing scholarship I received. None of that meant anything without the people we worked with in the newsroom, the experiences behind the scenes on set, and most of all the people we reported on.

My First Week As A DTU Fellow
One of my favorite experiences so far was the dinner with Fonzworth Bently and DJ Envy. They were so down to earth and gave us great advice for life and our careers.

Nothing Short of Amazing: My First Week
My first week as a Discover The Unexpected fellow has been nothing short of amazing. Week one has furthered my curiosity into the program, and I hope to continue to carry this curiosity throughout the rest of my journey. From my initial arrival at the boot camp to my first day at the Washington Informer, each day has gifted me with something unexpected.
