From inner city Los Angeles to redwood trees, Tina Sampay, a Cal Poly Humboldt alum, self-published, “Slauson Girl: The Journey of a Black Journalist in South Central” earlier this year. When she’s not spending time with loved ones or nature, she can be found learning and engaging with her community.
Sampay’s memoir documents her lived experiences as a Black journalist navigating white institutions, while also engaging with themes of race, power, state-sanctioned violence and the ongoing marginalization of Black women’s voices. Sampay felt that it was necessary to build Black media as a counter-narrative highlighting voices who are often silenced.
