MJRN410 Portfolio

Welcome to My Portfolio

Journalism is often seen as the art of capturing the facts, but literary journalism challenges us to go further—into the realms of human experience, emotion, and the deeper truths that lie between the lines. In this portfolio, I bring you stories that are not just reported but lived, reconstructed, and textured with the voices, memories, and scenes of the people and events that define them.

Inspired by the immersive techniques of pioneers like Gay Talese, Tom Wolfe, and Truman Cope, I aim to craft narratives that go beyond the surface. Whether it’s a towering cultural figure like Darold Miller, whose life and legacy reverberate through the world of Bahamian journalism, or the quiet struggles of everyday individuals, my stories seek to bridge the gap between observation and understanding.

Each piece in this collection has been shaped by meticulous research, keen observation, and a commitment to storytelling that honors both the subject and the reader. From the untold stories of loss and solitude to celebrations of resilience and achievement, this portfolio is my exploration of what it means to document life in its raw, unvarnished form.

As you journey through these narratives, you will find moments of triumph, vulnerability, and reflection—each one a testament to the power of stories to connect, inform, and inspire.
