A couple weeks ago, a Los Angeles Times reporter contacted me for a feature on Black History Month. She said she was looking for a “range of L.A. personalities” for quotes about Obama and BHM. I was to be the “independent conservative voice.”
I was delighted to know I’m considered an L.A. personality, as I’ve been here only three months. No matter what comes my way as a result of this blog, I’m always surprised. “But I’m just a blogger,” I always say. “Why do they want to talk to me?
Regardless, it’s nice to be included. Check out the main link here and my quotes here. (Keeps changing. Just scroll through. Man, I need a professional headshot!) I was asked several questions; one was about “diversity,” and those quotes were published.
Several months ago, a New York Times reporter interviewed me for about an hour, and not a single quote of mine made it into the article. It’s happened to me before…not saying what the reporter wants to hear and not making the story. My efforts paid off this time.
