Telling Bold Stories: My Conversation with Alex Washington

Detroit journalist, Alex Washington has built a career focused on telling the stories of her city, highlighting unsung heroes and showcasing the city's cultural renaissance. Transitioning from a writer to an audience and engagement manager at Outlier Media, a community-driven media outlet, Alex stresses the importance of building a supportive network in journalism.

Previously as a writer with Detroit Metro Times, Alex was able to cover so many marginalized communities. Currently, at Outlier Media, Alex works on enhancing the organization’s digital presence. The outlet focuses on transparent, community-centered journalism, providing readers with tools to navigate complex issues.

I had the chance to sit down with Alex to explore her journey, and the insights she’s gained in digital journalism. If you’re seeking inspiration, practical advice, or a reminder of the impact of staying true to your community, subscribe to Stylists Suite here.
