International Symposium on Online Journalism (ISOJ 2017)

I was not supposed to go to the journalism conference. As luck would have it, my sweet friend sent me a random link on Linkedin a month or so before ISOJ 2017 was to take place. The conference was informational, eye-opening, and a chance to meet and learn more about the news media I ingest on a daily bases.

The widely discussed topic of the conference was the news media and the 2017 presidential election. The goal, how to move forward.

Dallas Art Fair 2017

This was my first year to attend the Dallas Art Fair. I went as a member of the Dallas Contemporary Young Professionals group. My favorite piece of the fair was the Keith Haring on display. Haring's art is whimsical, disciplined, and unique.
