Georgia Fort on Changing the Narrative, Spotlighting Social Justice, Citing Diverse Sources

"Maybe sometimes people don’t understand the value of storytellers. But when you look at history, history has only been preserved by people who captured and documented the stories.” – Georgia Fort, BLCK Press Founder and Video Journalist

Georgia Fort defines her mission as "...changing the narrative by amplifying truth, citing diverse sources and contextualizing social justice issues." She's an independent video journalist based in Minneapolis, and now she's covering the murder trial of Derek Chauvin. (Chauvin is the former Minneapolis police officer facing second and third-degree murder charges over the death of George Floyd.) Georgia also founded BLCK Press, a website that publishes stories from other independent media makers sharing diverse perspectives.
