If you’re still attending Art of Black Miami, I also like the idea of doing a first-person write-up about your experience there (from a Black artist’s perspective, per your previous email). In this piece, I’d also like to weave in some info about the history of Black art in Miami. We can also offer $dollaramount for this piece.

HERE'S THE ASSIGNMENT
Hi Darralynn,
I hope all is well! I like this pitch. I'd love to see your draft. When you say video, what do you have in mind?
Ah, I see! I think we're going to pass on the video aspect as we have a video team dedicated to producing our content to ensure there's continuity in style, etc. I wouldn't want you to go through all the trouble for it not to be used. I do, however, look forward to your finished report!
