Editorials

Aja Carter and LeSha’ Davis take a selfie for their very first newsletter Jan. 19, 2023. We had a great experience working for Student Media and believe our goals were met.

After 2 years of leadership within Student Media Aja Carter, editor in chief, and LeSha’ Davis, managing editor of the Washburn Review, are excited to take the next steps in their lives after graduating. They are both proud of the work they have done for Student Media and grateful for the support they’ve received. Reflecting over their time with Student Media, the two shared their experiences being in a position of leadership for a student-led publication. Read their editorials detailing the challenges they’ve experienced as Black women in leadership.

We leave Washburn thankful for our supporters. Also want to give a special thanks to:

Hello, my name is Aja! I am a senior mass media major with a concentration in journalism and the Editor-in-Chief of the Washburn Review. I'm originally from Virginia, but I've lived in a couple of other states. I really enjoy writing, music, and spending time with my family. Outside of school and reporting for Student Media, I volunteer at my church, Light of the World Christian Center.
