Sahan Journal

Established in 2019, Sahan Journal’s mission is to provide fair, groundbreaking coverage that illuminates issues affecting Minnesota immigrants and communities of color, and to chronicle how these communities are changing and redefining what it means to be a Minnesotan. We are expanding our audiences by partnering with ethnic news media in the state as well as two of the largest legacy newsrooms in Minnesota.

Current Position

Location: St Paul, Minnesota

Beat: Affordable housing in Minnesota

Position:

In recent years, Minneapolis has been thrust to the epicenter of racial inequities and economic disparities. Affordable housing, educational opportunities and significant gaps in generational wealth in our communities of color are persistent. A sweeping rent control measure in the last election cycle will have deep consequences on our most vulnerable families. This reporter covers not just urban complexities but immigrants and people of color who face issues unique to smaller cities and towns in more rural Minnesota.
