Demise of Les Abattoirs, a Thriving Artists’ Space in Casablanca: CityLab
I wrote this feature on Les Abattoirs, slaughterhouses-turned-slaughterhouses, in Casablanca, Morocco with the help of Round Earth Media during spring 2018. It was published by CityLab at the beginning of 2019.

DACA-mented students linger in limbo: The Knox Student

Sophomore Michel Mora does not know what will happen when her protection under DACA expires on March 30.
“No one has said anything about what will happen after March. Once March comes, we’ll see. I guess in a way it’s kind of scary not knowing what’s going to happen to you. … It’s all in the hands of the [politicians] right now,” Mora said.
