19. Journalism, Mind Maps, and the Best Mississippi High School Basketball Player of All-Time

Torsheta Jackson is a freelance journalist based in Jackson, Mississippi. This is Torsheta’s second time on the podcast. In her first episode, which you can listen to here, she talks about being a Black woman raising Black sons.

In this episode, we recap some of the feedback Torsheta received and then we talk about the process of writing features, how Torsheta outlines her stories, the legendary basketball coach Lafayette Stribling, the best Mississippi High School Boys’ Player of All-Time, and Torsheta’s two favorite places to eat in Jackson.

You read Torsheta’s work online here and follow her on Facebook here.
