The award-winning book explores the lives of 15 mobile journalist-activists who have documented the Black Lives Matter movement using only mobile and social media. \nSavannah Wood\, an artist with roots in Baltimore and Los Angeles\, is the Executive Director of Afro Charities\, where she leads efforts to increase access to the AFRO American Newspapers’ archives. She has guided the organization through growth\, initiated new programming\, and attracted support from national funders.
