After photographer Jordan Somers recently photographed the Converge family in all their glory, he left the Black Media Matters Studio with resounding reflections in classic Jordan style. His profound observations both behind the camera and as a deep thinker are reasons why he plays a critical role in the Converge Media family. 

Few things compare to the sense and soundness of family. At Converge Media, we’re lucky to have a family of our own, connected through the walls of the Black Media Matters Studio and a shared mission to tell better stories in our community. Before the year ended, we made sure to come together as one, celebrate our accomplishments, sing, dance, take some fly pics thanks to photographer Jordan Somers, and rejoice in each other’s energy and brilliance.

This Giving Tuesday, Dec. 2, the Converge Media family is coming together for The Converge Media Telethon: Powered By The People in the Black Media Matters Studio. This eight-hour telethon-style live stream in partnership with the Northwest Film Forum is your opportunity to hang out with the big names of Converge, celebrate incredible stories, and donate to ensure independent Black media stays alive in the Pacific Northwest.
