PhxSoul.com's DaVaun Sanders Wins New America Media Fellowship
PhxSoul.com is proud to announce that our talented writer - DaVaun Sanders - has been awarded a 2010 New America Media Fellowship, "Ethnic Elders Today and Tomorrow," which was underwritten by a grant from The Atlantic Philanthropies.
In order to receive the fellowship which includes a stipend, Sanders had to submit a proposal outlining a major article or series of stories, that he would research and write, as well as a signed agreement by PhxSoul.com to run his stories.
Sanders will be writing a three-part series on assimilation challenges for Somali and other African immigrants in Arizona, struggles of African Americans, and how African immigrants and African Americans relate to one another.
Sanders will participate in a two-day workshop on key social, politics and policy issues, hosted by New America Media in Washington, D.C., in late February 2010, where he will meet with national policy-makers, leading journalists, policy advocates and researchers. New America Media will disseminate stories produced by the fellows to ethnic and mainstream media partners and nonprofit collaborators through our news wire.
PhxSoul.com is proud of DaVaun Sanders and we look forward to publishing his three-part series!!
DaVaun, Congratulations on this outstanding achievement and continued success to you and PhxSoul.com!
