Meet Marguax Lovely, who has been covering everything from politics and crime to health and community. Lovely is now part of our Mickey Flacks Fellowship, partnered by SBCAN, a program to support research and reporting on environmental and social justice issues. This week, we got to know the woman wordsmith who’s been working our pages.
How long have you been with the Independent? Have you written anywhere else before?
I’ve been with the Independent for about seven months now, first as an intern and now as a Mickey Flacks Fellow! When I started, I had never written for a newspaper before ... or anywhere, for that matter. Not even a secret diary in elementary school. By some stroke of luck, the Independent took a chance on me, and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome!
