Omari Foote, a senior majoring in journalism at Howard University, joined the Foundation last week and will spend 12 weeks covering issues related to queer-owned businesses in D.C. “I am so grateful for the opportunity to write for this trailblazing publication,” Foote said. “I can’t wait to get to work and begin highlighting LGBTQ businesses.” The fellowship is funded through a grant from the D.C.

Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Affairs. “Mayor Bowser and the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Affairs firmly believe in supporting the next generation of queer journalism,” said Japer Bowles, director of the office. “The Washington Blade has been a bedrock for our LGBTQIA+ community for decades by providing us with crucial news that educate and inform us, but also inspire us to live openly and freely as queer folx.

We look forward to the continued success of this fellowship program and the stories that come from engaging our vibrant LGBTQIA+ business community.” The post Blade Foundation names fall fellowship recipient appeared first on Washington Blade: LGBTQ News, Politics, LGBTQ Rights, Gay News.
