By Kimberly Griffin| Mississippi Free Press Verified Next week is the Mississippi Free Press’ fifth birthday and Sunshine Week, an annual initiative focusing on the importance of government transparency. It’s apropos that it falls the same week and follows the decision from the Hinds County Chancery Court that ruled the Mississippi Legislature wasn’t a public body.
By Kimberly Griffin| Mississippi Free Press Verified Right now, I’m at a small journalism conference where they’ve convened local newsrooms, funders, news influencers and media strategists. I’ve had no fewer than five women stop me and ask if I’m OK, and I’ve done the same in turn. We’ve heard that one of our friends had a team member swatted because of their work with immigrant communities. On the other hand, it’s been terrific to catch up with colleagues and to learn about grandkids, engagements and new houses.
By Kimberly Griffin| Mississippi Free Press Verified My favorite poet, Nikki Giovanni, died this week. She was 81 and battled cancer on and off for for years. As a student at Mississippi University for Women, I helped host her, picking her up from the airport and introducing her for our Black history program. She was incredibly kind. I was astonished that she talked to me like a peer. She worked hard not to cuss during her appearance, which disappointed me as a certified cusser, but one understands contractual obligations.
