2021 CJF-CBC Black Journalism Fellow<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]I was at a rough time in my career path when I got accepted for the Canadian Journalism Black Fellowship Program. This was exactly what I needed and as a believer, I knew that this was the path God wanted me to take on, because ever since being one of the three first recipients of the program, I\u2019ve grown as a journalist.<\/p>\n

I started off with\u00a0Canada Tonight\u00a0<\/i>and spent about five weeks there with a great team of producers. I did some TV producing as an associate producer but quickly learned it wasn\u2019t quite my niche. Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s ok and completely normal to not like something you\u2019re doing. This was part of the experience I needed and I\u2019m glad I got that opportunity.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to my third placement in November, I was an associate producer on Gill Deacon\u2019s\u00a0Here and Now<\/em>\u00a0afternoon radio show and that\u2019s where I believe my love for producing grew fonder. The team was truly exceptional —\u00a0they always welcomed my fresh ideas and some original pitches to the show which made it easier to show up at story meetings.<\/p>\n

I never ceased to impress the team at\u00a0Here and Now<\/em>\u00a0with local community stories and BIPOC ones as well. I was able to produce several stories with Black voices and produce big projects as well. The team at CBC News Toronto trusted me to produce a Black History Month project titled\u00a0Leading Black Voices\u00a0<\/i>during my time as a fellow, which\u00a0led other producers to trust my work and journalistic potential.<\/p>\n

My producer Tania Mehta always made sure I critically thought about my pitches and writing for the show. Tania along with Gill really helped me grow, and I believe when I first entered the program I didn\u2019t have as much knowledge as I did when I finished it. I\u2019m eternally grateful for the team of judges on CJF that accepted me into this program, the CBC News Toronto team, and\u00a0Mark Mietkiewicz\u00a0for always being a guide.<\/p>\n

The experience was definitely worth it, even though most of it consisted of working from home, due to the pandemic. I managed to learn a lot as an associate producer, and I believe that this experience will open more doors for me.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
