me clocking into the job I prayed for

What a major loss for Houston. The Landing broke exceptional, impactful stories on the city's Black midwives/doulas, Aldine ISD, local politics and more. The city deserves so much more.

Your newsroom would be better with Monique in it! Hire her while you can. ⬇️

“Despite months of overwhelming pleas for increased security at Houston’s only adaptive recreation center, city officials have yet to secure the Metropolitan Multi-Service Center, according to staff members at the facility.” Story by Monique Welch houstonlanding.org/security-safet…

We remain committed to supporting our members after the Houston Landing's board of directors voted to cease operations in mid-May. Full statement below:

Monique was a diversity reporter on my team. She covered issues that often went ignored. She was persistent, thorough and thoughtful in her reporting. She made sure the voices of marginalized communities were heard. Hire her!

Monique Welch Thank you for always telling Texas Southern's story with truth and accuracy.

I'm heartbroken to see so many talented journalists facing layoffs. Their work has made a real difference in our community. Please consider donating or sharing to support them during this tough time. gofund.me/53a838bb

Folks, we’re very close to our $10k fundraising goal to help the Houston Landing journalists and staff facing layoffs. We’re at the stage where some people tossing in $10 or $15 will get us there. Please consider helping: gofundme.com/f/support-hous…

Further proof that the talent assembled in the Houston Landing newsroom is second to none. Congrats to my colleagues Asher Lehrer-Small & Anna-Cat Brigida who have both been named Livingston Finalists, separately, for their phenomenal work last year: wallacehouse.umich.edu/livingston-awa…
