Why we’re fascinated: Because game recognizes game, especially on an anniversary! This year, local media maven C. Zawadi Morris, a Chicago native and longtime Brooklyn resident, is celebrating 10 years of BK Reader — a news source that covers everything from immersive art in Bushwick to the hunger strike of Brooklyn Assembly member Latrice Walker, specifically across nine North and Central Brooklyn neighborhoods. Morris has been recognized by the Pulitzer Center and Tory Burch Fellow program and has served on the board for the Brooklyn Community Foundation’s Spark Prize, which honors impactful local nonprofits. Somehow, this “Life Path 33” adherent also still manages to maintain her passions for sewing, cooking, foreign languages and more.
