Ebony JJ Curry

Reporting fellow (She/Her)

Hi! I’m Ebony JJ Curry, one of The 19th’s reporting fellows. I was previously an NBCUniversal fellow covering Black entrepreneurship and innovation in Detroit’s growing tech sector.

I was also a senior reporter at the Michigan Chronicle, where I led political coverage as a Democratic correspondent and press pool member for the Biden-Harris and Harris-Walz campaigns. My work highlighted community advancement across politics, tech and social justice, while growing the Chronicle’s digital presence as its daily newsletter curator and social media on-air talent.

I bring a unique blend of experience working both in newsrooms and government. I have held communications roles with the Detroit City Council, Michigan Senate Democrats and the Executive Office of the Governor, and contributed to Medill News Service, ABC12 News in Flint, Michigan, and NBC affiliate WAFF-48 in Huntsville, Alabama.

I hold a Bachelor’s in communications media from Alabama A&M University and a Master’s in journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.

My work is free to consume and free to republish because of contributions from readers like you. A donation of $19 goes a long way toward sustaining our nonprofit newsroom.
