Tune in to @wbznewsradio.bsky.social at 8 p.m. tonight, I'll be on WBZ Nightside with Dan Rea talking about @bostonglobe.com's Green Book project!📗
In today's Starting Point newsletter, we’re explaining President Trump’s fixation on tariffs, including those he slapped on Canada, China, and Mexico this weekend.
In Saturday's @CapitalBNews newsletter, I wrote about former President Joe Biden’s last clemency action and the “girlfriend crimes” that led to most of the women who received their commutations winding up in federal prison for life or decades.
Well you inspired me to create a Black democracy starter pack. Cause those are also overwhelmingly white.

“Doubt means don’t.”
— A necessary gem from Oprah, while in convo with Gayle, at the MA conference for women.
Text from the Nov 27 edition of the Tangle newsletter that reads: “For now, I'm doing something very few media outlets tend to do: I'm telling you to look away. Just for a few days. It's okay. It'll all be here when you're back, and if you genuinely take a break you’ll feel refreshed and ready to return when it’s time. We're going to take a break, too, and I’m planning to recharge.”

New this morning from the @bostonglobe.com Spotlight Team's investigation into Steward Health Care: Company executives treated its in-house malpractice insurer like a piggy bank, depleting the accounts meant to pay malpractice claims apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/invest...
Being drop kicked into the memory of my abuela taking me to see Free Willy in ‘93 — and then playfully calling me out on having a crush on Jesse on the bus ride home — was not on my 2024 bingo card.

Listen. THAT part. That kind of behavior from adults turned so many soft and carefree little girls into harden and defensive mini-adults.
Mmhmm. When the women started talking about their experiences being sexualized as children. So relatable. So sad.

I see a lot of you still sharing posts from the obviously fake Count Dracula account, so please be aware:
- the real Count would never post during daylight hours in Romania
- his full given name is Vlad, not Vladimir
- he does not actually say “blah” and would never write it out in a post
Same! #postiegang

It all started with me pitching you a newsletter about a travel writer and his dog. Day Trippin’ was my first newsletter baby. 😭
Edit:
Many people doubted me, undermined me, and took credit for my work. I’m grateful to them, for they’ve taught me to never stay where I’m not respected or valued. They also taught me how NOT to lead.
What others did pt 3️⃣

What others did pt 2️⃣:
A colleague shared her vast knowledge of project management with me.
An organization hired me to teach newsletter strategies to early-career journalists.
My amazing mentor coached me through my failures, celebrated my wins, and modeled the kind of leader I aspire to be.
What others did pt 1️⃣ :
My first boss gave me a budget to fund my first newsletter pitch.
My second boss taught me how to build and troubleshoot email code.
My third boss supported my wild list-building ideas with a budget!
Skeptical journalists gave me and my newsletter ideas a chance.
9️⃣ I asked a lot of questions and annoyed a lot of people in the process. Hearing, "That's the way we've always done it.", has never sat well with me.
8️⃣ I held newsletter office hours to make troubleshooting or talking through strategy less intimidating for non-techie journalists.
7️⃣ I was (and still am) invested in making news accessible for everyone and kept exploring ways to do that through email.
6️⃣ I learned HTML (and CSS) on W3Schools and taught myself how to code emails in Dreamweaver.
5️⃣ I used Salesforce in that first role, which I learned through a mix of trial by fire, Salesforce’s trailhead courses, and our dedicated solutions architects. Learning how to “email” in Salesforce made every ESP I worked in afterward a piece of cake.
4️⃣ By the time I applied to an email-specific role at my local paper (Palm Beach Post), I had a lot of thoughts on what not to do in the digital and audience space. I also had a working knowledge of Mailchimp (the email OG), which helped me advocate for my ability to do the job.
