Tolu

My name is Tolu Talabi and I am an incoming senior at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I study journalism and minor in global studies. I have written for the Capital News Service, The Baltimore Fishbowl, The Diamondback and The Black Explosion, where I’ve covered social justice, arts, and culture, and found joy in writing narrative journalism. I report with passion, bravery, compassion, and truth, which are values that will forever drive my work. Tolu will work as a general assignment reporter on The Banner’s news desk.
