OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST LAILA EDWARDS

I don’t usually campaign for awards, but this year I’ve decided to go for broke for a Fan Writer Hugo Award. Yay me!

my “journalism” “career” started just like this and lasted from 2012 to 2021 and the bookends of graduating from college into all that and COVID were pretty perfect, almost scripted
i remember when you shared one of my pieces years ago and i was like KIM LIKED THIS??? made my day actually
i’m learning how to accept that people who think i’m cool might have a point. so as a cool person you have to believe me when i tell you i think you’re cool!
In case you were worried women's hockey has gotten too advanced, let me remind you today is the first time three Black women have been on the ice together at the Olympics. Canada's Sarah Nurse and Sophie Jaques plus USAH's first-ever Black women Laila Edwards

one of the sickest hockey photos I’ve ever taken (2023)

empty-netter with the goalie still jumping off the ice is BRUTAL
I was among the layoffs at The Washington Post today. It has been an absolute dream to be a small part of this incredible team. Covering the Caps has been an honor; being a beat writer is an all-consuming thing that I love deeply. I hope I’ll get to continue that in whatever is next
I was among the many sports reporters laid off by The Washington Post today. Feeling a lot of gratitude for my time working for this paper.
Not looking back. Looking ahead to what’s next!
I was laid off by The Washington Post today. This is gutting for our readers and our section, but I’m grateful for the 4 years I had to cover sports alongside friends and legends.
