When the lights felt too bright and the camera too close, Besa Gordon stepped back to heal—and her community stepped forward.

In a deeply personal moment on Back2Besa, Besa gave flowers to the trusted voices who held it down in her absence.

Mark Taylor, the digital artisan weaving narratives. Travis Conway, the young gun who rose to the mic. Jazz from Seattle, the community curator with a prime-time voice. Deaunte Damper, the advocate who leads with empathy. Lex Scope (LexScope Productions), the filmmaker turning street corner dreams into film-worthy visions.

They didn’t hesitate. They pulled up, showed up, and made the Black Media Matters studio their own—then carried that same energy to the FOX 13 Seattle set.

From honoring crime survivors to uplifting young scholars and showcasing creative futures, each one gave this work the care and conviction it deserves.

“Thank you for riding with me,” Besa shared, “even in stillness.”

After eight weeks of restoration, Besa Gordon is back—with gratitude for those who showed up when they didn’t have to.
