The Who:
As a Black woman and a freelance journalist — and a Black woman journalist passionate about writing stories for us — I’ve been desperately brainstorming constructive ways to lend my writing skills to help fight this disease, suppress its spreading, and end this pandemic. I’ve also been wanting to write more original stories independent from any publication, for my own audience, and start a newsletter.
So I decided to combine all these ideas and dedicate my newsletter SpeakPatrice to highlighting coronavirus news for Black folks, both stories written by other journalists and by me, Patrice Peck (IG/TW/website).
The How:
So, “Coronavirus News For Black Folks” aims to empower our community by circulating existing coronavirus (COVID-19) news and stories as it relates to the Black Diaspora and creating our own original FUBU written and audio content to fill the many gaps in coverage, from how the disease and pandemic are specifically impacting our physical and mental health, our social and cultural structures and institutions, and more.

Patrice gets a voice and stories out there that aren't getting heard in mainstream media. This is a unique newsletter that more people should be reading to better understand how Black people are being affected by the coronavirus.
