The Baltimore Association of Black Journalists hosted its 4th Annual #BABJReviews Saturday, May 11 at Morgan State University’s School of Global Journalism and Communication. The daylong program kicked off at 8:30 a.m. and wrapped at 2:00 p.m. Our eight expert volunteers held more than 60 consultations with attendees. The 20 minute, one-on-one sessions offered style consultations, radio and TV reel critiques, website and social media planning as well as resume reviews.

Things will take time to develop, but they will happen if you have the right people leading you along the way. I’m glad to say that #BABJReviews was a great opportunity to receive the guidance that I needed to become a more successful journalist. https://t.co/m7mI6iMngh
