Black Essential Workers - Story Submission
Thank you for your interest in contributing your essential worker story to the “Coronavirus News For Black Folks” newsletter.

We are an independent news project that aims to empower our community by circulating existing coronavirus (COVID-19) news and stories as it relates to the Black Diaspora and creating our own original written and audio content to fill the many gaps in coverage, from how the disease and pandemic are specifically impacting our physical and mental health, our social and cultural structures and institutions, and more: http://speakpatrice.substack.com/

Please fill out the following below and we will contact you when your story and experiences align with news we're working on at the moment. We likely won't end up being able to include every person's story, but those people whose stories do not make it into our posts will still be given a special shout out in the newsletter.
