In this episode of Profound Conversations, we enter a dialogue with the stewards of two of the nation’s most enduring African American–owned media institutions—The Washington Informer and The Muslim Journal. Through their histories, struggles, and triumphs, we explore the deeper question: What does it take to sustain authentic Black storytelling in an era where truth itself is contested?

Black-owned media outlets have long answered a call larger than journalism. They have stood as protectors of cultural memory, advocates for justice, and interpreters of complex social and political realities affecting Black communities. Yet these institutions operate under unique and often unforgiving pressures: financial precarity, shifting readership habits, political scrutiny, and the constant demand to serve as both chroniclers and defenders of their communities.

This conversation brings together leading voices who can speak to the particular ethos, editorial courage, and community-centered missions that distinguish African American–owned outlets from mainstream media—and from one another.

Equality Health Foundation Launches the Zip Code Exam Project to Drive Awareness of Health Disparities and Increase Life Expectancy in Underserved Communities

Equality Health Foundation is proud to launch the Zip Code Exam—a groundbreaking initiative to bring awareness to health disparities and inequities and improve overall well-being in underserved communities plagued by chronic health conditions, diminished quality of life, and decreased life expectancy.

Where you live can potentially have a bigger impact on life expectancy than factors like genetics. From food security, community walkability, job availability, education, housing costs, and access to healthcare—environmental factors determined by geography play a significant role in overall health outcomes and well-being.
