EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK
Meditations (in the spirit of Marcus Aurelius)
To do this work, the most important thing is to ask why. Why did this happen? Why is it important? Why do they care? Why will others care? Why?
Often the basics of journalism, or storytelling in general, lead people to start with the who, the what, the when, the where, the how. But first, start with the why.
And then work backwards.
When did this first happen? What caused it to happen? Who has been impacted? Who made it so? How did it come to be?
And one of my favorite questions that I now keep taped next to my desk: What are the systems that happened here? To this person? This place? This time?
Journalism is about getting to the roots of a story. Whether that’s the racial or economic historical underpinnings impacting the narrative now or whether it’s a person’s origin story of how they
OPINION SUBSCRIBE
came to be.
Once you identify the why, then move on to the who.
Not just the name, the age, the race, the gender of the person, but also the color of their eyes, the way they smile, the sound of their voice, the little mannerisms that make them who they are. Convey those in the story. It’s what brings them to life.
Remember this.
Journalism is just storytelling with a purpose. And that purpose is to evoke empathy in the reader, to help them understand this vast world a little better, to create windows into the human experience.
You’ve met this person and heard their story. Now let others do the same.
It is an honor to be able to hear their stories, to be a vessel that holds them until pen and paper — or these days, keyboard and processor — deliver them to others.
Do not forget this.
Storytelling is power and privilege. And it is with great responsibility and humility that you should embark on this work. Do not let yourself become the center of the story. You are just the conduit.

n one of the last few nights in January, Winston-Salem and Forsyth County’s Continuum of Care (CoC) will survey the area in an attempt to count its homeless population.
It’s called the Point-In-Time (PIT) count, and it doesn’t happen without volunteers.
The annual PIT count determines the services and resources that a community needs by counting both unsheltered and sheltered people experiencing homelessness. Unsheltered people may be those sleeping in their cars, parks, campgrounds etc., while sheltered people may be in transitional housing or staying in emergency shelters.
It’s required at least every other year by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, and is held in January per HUD regulations. This year’s count will take place on Jan. 29.
But PIT counts notoriously undercount the number of people experiencing homelessness, which leads to an underfunding by the government for programs that would help people secure housing.
According to the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, “[R]egardless of their methodology or execution, point in time counts fail to account for the transitory nature of homelessness and thus present a misleading picture of the crisis. Annual data, which better account for the movement of people in and out of homelessness over time, are significantly larger.” The center goes on to cite a 2001 study that used administrative data collected from homeless service providers, estimating that the annual number of homeless individuals is 2.5 to 10.2 times what PIT counts estimate.
The CoC is a community-wide system of care that includes City With Dwellings, the Bethesda Center, United Way of Forsyth County and more entities.
According to the city’s Housing Programs Manager Shereka Floyd, this means that many people who really need housing support and assistance can’t get it.
“This causes our numbers to not accurately reflect the needs in our community,” Floyd told TCB in an email.
In 2022, 429 houseless people were counted in Forsyth County, dropping down to 396 in 2023 and going back up to 485 in 2024, according to Floyd. And over the years, as the unsheltered population has increased, Floyd said that the city has also noticed an “increase in the number of families needing assistance.”
“On this night we try to engage with those who are living unsheltered and provide them information about resources they may not be aware of to assist with their housing instability,” she explained. That’s why having volunteers to help count as many people as possible is so important.
“Having more volunteers allows more individuals to be counted,” Floyd stated, adding that it helps the CoC engage with unhoused individuals all across the city and connect them with resources.
How can you help?
The city urgently needs volunteers to sign up for street teams — going out and directly interacting with the homeless. The PIT count homebase will be stationed at the William C. Sims Sr. Community Center at 1201 Alder St.
On Wednesday, Jan. 29, volunteers have two shift options from 6-8 p.m. or 9:30-11 p.m., and need to arrive 30 minutes before their shift starts. Volunteers must be over 18, able to walk moderate distances and able to attend one hour of training.
There are multiple roles that need to be filled.
Outbound volunteers can sign up alone or as a team of four to six people. They can choose to serve as interviewers who greet unsheltered folks and ask survey questions, scribes who write down or type their responses, drivers who will drive the team to the assigned area and will need a vehicle that can seat three to five people, or as a team lead who will make sure that all areas of the map are covered and all supplies are accounted for. They’ll also be the timekeeper, ensuring that the team returns to the homebase on time.

Oit like to participate in the PIT count?
n Jan. 29, it’s supposed to drop down to a low of 23 degrees, with a high of 39 degrees, according to AccuWeather’s forecast Volunteers should dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes, Floyd stated.
During last year’s PIT count, TCB talked to people experiencing homelessness. One explained that someone had come by his encampment, doused it in gasoline and set it on fire.
“How can people be so cruel?” a volunteer said.
Guilford County’s numbers are trending upward, too. In 2023, their volunteers counted 34 unsheltered people. Last year they counted 234, included in the total number of the county’s 665 homeless individuals.
Floyd also said that individuals looking to help throughout the year can reach out to CoC and partner agencies to assist households throughout the year with volunteering and donations.
People can also donate clothing items such as new socks, hygiene products, pop-top foods and snacks, as well as money and any essentials that could be beneficial to the count, Floyd stated.

A community of care Abortion after-care kits help patients feel supported in times of need
by Sayaka Matsuoka | sayaka@triad-city-beat.com
After M. Carter had their abortion in 2021, their friend came over and dropped off freshly baked goods for them. And as someone who was going through the experience alone, that act of love and support helped them get through the process.
“It can be an isolating experience if you don’t have that sense of community with you,” they said.
A year later, Carter made it their mission to make sure that those who choose to have abortions would feel that same kind of love and care in their time of need.
That’s how the NC Reproductive Care Coalition got its start. The grassroots group currently meets on the third Wednesday of every month at Westerwood Tavern to create after-care kits for post-abortion patients. The kits, which usually include heavy pads, heating pads, teas for cramping, ginger chews for nausea, snacks and a handwritten note, are put together by volunteers and then delivered to the local abortion clinic in Greensboro. A lot of the materials that make it into the packages come from Carter’s own personal experience with medical abortion. In their experience, they passed the pregnancy tissue at home after hours of cramping, pain and nausea. Their care at the abortion clinic, A Woman’s Choice, was affirming and understanding but once they got home, they didn’t feel like they had a support system. When their friend brought over the baked goods, they realized that supportive acts don’t have to be substantial; they can be quite simple.
“It doesn’t have to be this grand thing,” they said. “It can be what we have and the skills we have here.”
Learn more about the NC Reproductive Care Coalition on their Instagram at @reproductivecarecoalition Their next event is on Jan. 15 at Westerwood Tavern from 5-8 p.m.
Since starting the initiative more than two years ago, the group has grown; during some meetings, 20-30 people show up to help put together the kits. While many who want to fight for reproductive justice may think to volunteer at the local abortion clinic, Carter said that this initiative is a little bit easier to access for some people.
“There are a lot of people who want to help but don’t have the means or aren’t sure how to get involved,” Carter said. “But this gives a tangible practice and it takes off the pressure of having to do it alone or having to give a big donation.”
Those who can’t make it in person can always donate funds to the organization to help cover the costs of the goods in the packages.
One of the most impactful parts of the care kits are the handwritten notes, which are contributed by the volunteers who come to put the packages together. Sometimes the volunteers don’t know what to write and others who have been involved for some time will help them craft the right messages. Because the group is open to anyone, there’s a diverse community that shows up from older white men in their seventies to working class employees to lawyers.
“It helps foster a community,” Carter said.
To that end, Carter has been working to expand the coalition’s reach by partnering with other local organizations like the Triad Health Project and Every Baby Guilford. They’ve also started to expand their operations throughout the Southeast by working with organizations in Atlanta and Louisville, Ky.
So far, the model has been easy to replicate and spread because it’s a low-barrier way to show up for reproductive rights.
“We want this to be an accessible space and practice for people who aren’t sure
where to start,” Carter said.
The coalition’s next event takes place on Jan. 15 at Westerwood Tavern with a reproductive resolution party from 5-8 p.m. At the event, Carter and others will make kits but also do a fundraising initiative, raffle off prizes and play games.
In addition to the material help given through the car kits, the coalition’s work also helps open up dialogue to talk about abortion. Although more focus has been on reproductive rights since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, there is still a lot of hesitancy for people to discuss the topic openly, Carter said.
“This way they get to talk to other people who have had that experience,” Carter said. “And they’re learning more about the day to day realities of this.”
In addition to helping others understand what abortion looks like in real life, Carter said that the letters can offer the patients a sense of reassurance in their decision.
“The letters have helped to bridge the gap where sometimes you think, Everybody thinks I’m a horrible person because I’ve had this medical treatment,” they said. “There’s just some of these internalized things that people struggle to get away from.”
Carter said that when they left the clinic after their appointment, they had to shield a couple from protesters outside who were shouting things in their direction. Just like they had done so then, they hope the packages offer those going through abortions support during times of need.
“If they feel like it’s not something that they can talk about or speak up about, I hope that it helps facilitate a conversation, even if it’s just at first with themselves,” Carter said.
Moving forward, they hope to expand out of Westerwood Tavern and continue the work of educating the community about abortion access and reproductive justice in general.
“I’ve learned so much about my own community and their willingness to engage with this,” Carter said. “It’s been very hopeful.”

PUBLISHER’S NOTEBOOK
One last time
by Brian Clarey
o this is it.
This week marks my last issue with Triad City Beat. And I don’t quite know what to do about it. So I’m writing. It’s how I deal.
I’m leaving because I must. My family and I were in a traumatic car accident with a truck this summer that broke my collarbone, caused my brain to bleed and shattered my life into pieces. I’m still picking through the wreckage to see what made it through.
My marriage did not. My wife, who nearly died after being crushed by the truck, decided she wanted a divorce shortly after regaining consciousness in the Charlottesville hospital. My commitment to TCB also did not survive the impact. I need to make more money than I’ve ever been able to pay myself here — enough to live on my own, and to handle the medical bills that are just starting to settle. And if I’m being honest, which is the entire point of all the writing I’ve ever done, I should add that I have lost the fire necessary for this kind of work. I just can’t seem to muster the outrage, the enthusiasm or the diligence that got me through all these years at my desk.
I just can’t do it anymore.
So I start a new job next week, something “normal” — or, at least, more normal than the journalistic whirlwind I’ve been riding for 20 years or so. Everybody goes home at 5 p.m., or so I understand. I’m moving into an apartment to live by myself for the first time since the late 1990s. It’s a whole new life. And though tragedy was the instigator, I’m grateful for the path that brought me to these things. TCB is a big part of it all.
Does anyone out there remember the beginning? I sure do. I had just been unceremoniously fired from YES Weekly. On Election Day! In short order, my key staff tendered their resignations, we pooled our money, recruited a couple more small investors and started TCB about 10 weeks later with $47,000. It wasn’t enough, but we did it anyway, fueled by resentment, ambition and confidence in our abilities to make something the Triad needed, that it wasn’t getting and that no one else was going to deliver.
“If we don’t do this,” we used to say, “no one else will.”
Next month marks 11 years since that bold beginning. All the other founders have peeled off and, truth be told, I probably should have too, a while back. I could have done it the first time we ran out of money in the first year, but it was too soon, so I learned to sell ads and began my journey
towards being a proper publisher. I was wiser the next few times we ran out of money, cutting expenses and cobbling together plans so we could make it through to the next windfall, which I always believed was right around the corner.
Like so many other businesses, we could have closed at the front end of the pandemic. But I’m so glad we didn’t. The reporting we did though the COVID days and the Racial Reckoning of that summer remain as some of the most important work I have ever been a part of. I will never forget livestreaming the Greensboro protest, or the march from Burlington to Graham, or the hundreds of other moments we captured on video and in print. These were some of the finest days of my career. And we could have shut down any of a dozen or so times when things got tough, when they looked bleak, when I felt like I couldn’t go on, but I did anyway.
Jen Sorensen jensorensen.com
I stayed because what we said in the beginning still rings true: If we weren’t doing this — covering local government, providing a counter-narrative to the official version of events, illuminating those stories that otherwise would not get told — I am still fairly certain that no one else would.
I’m going to miss this place. I’m going to miss this job. I’m going to miss all the people who have passed through our pages, both as writers and as subjects. I’m going to miss my devotion to the news cycle, my deadlines and notebooks. I’ll miss it all.
TCB has taken much from me. But it paid dividends, with interest.
But now it’s time to hand it off, or shut it down, or whatever it is that comes next. Honestly, I still don’t know what fate has in store for this little paper that could. I do know that there’s no chance for TCB or papers like it without community support, support that goes beyond just reading and sharing our stories. These are dark times for local news, just when we need it most. I truly wish I could be there to help. But as I’ve said, I just can’t do it anymore. Deep and sincere thanks to everyone who ever worked here, or read our work, or even the ones who hated us but couldn’t quite articulate why. I love you all, and I will never forget the privilege of sitting in this chair. I’m sorry I couldn’t keep going. But I’m thankful that I had the chance.

CULTURE
Greensboro’s Girl Coffee aims to highlight women in the industry from farm to cup
by Sayaka Matsuoka | sayaka@triad-city-beat.com
As a child, Stephanie Hernandez liked to copy her grandfather Salvador’s drink of choice: instant coffee. She remembers hanging out in the living room of her childhood home in High Point, sipping the caffeinated drink full of milk and sugar as she watched TV. But these days, she’s elevated her beverage routine.
In December, Hernandez could be found in the decorated lobby of Down Home NC’s Reclaim Carolina Center in Greensboro — formerly known as Double Oaks Bed and Breakfast — carefully measuring out coffee beans, grinding them and sifting them into pour-over cones. She took care to get the drinks, which are much more involved than regular cups of coffee, just right, especially because she had picked out the beans herself.
For the last few years, Hernandez has been working as the co-founder of Girl Coffee to find and share female-produced coffee to the wider Greensboro community.
“A big part of my life has been sharing things with people,” she says.
It started a few years ago when Hernandez and her former co-worker Caitie Nagy came up with the idea for the company while working at Borough Coffee. The trend of “girl dinner” had been making its rounds on the internet and the two joked about starting a business that focused on girl coffee. Since they already worked at a coffee shop, they had connections to Loom Coffee, a local roaster, and got to know the ins and outs of ordering green coffee — or the beans before they are roasted — as well as the process of roasting.
In May 2023, Girl Coffee launched their first product, an Ethiopian coffee with notes of blueberry, lemon and jasmine produced by farmer Bedhatu Jibicho from Yirgacheffe. The goal of the company is to focus on female growers and create delicious coffee with their product.
“It’s our mission to support women in the coffee industry,” Hernandez says. “We like to go all the way to the root.”
After that first round successfully launched, Nagy moved to Raleigh and Hernandez took over the business operations. To source and roast the coffee, she works with Loom Coffee’s Christopher Pierce and Ashley Griffeth.
owned by women. That’s why highlighting femaleowned farms is key to the mission of Girl Coffee.
Learn more about Girl Coffee on Instagram at @girlcoffeenc or on Loom’s website at loom.coffee.
In December, Girl Coffee officially released their second product, a naturally processed coffee with notes of strawberry, red grape and cacao nibs by Cecilia Quan from Santa Maria de la Paz in Honduras. According to Loom Coffee’s website, Quan took over her family farm in Honduras after spending time in the US. Like Hernandez, she too was inspired by a relative — her 91-year-old grandmother, Doña Irma Acosta — to become a business owner.
Hernandez says that in addition to focusing on female growers from women-owned coffee farms, she likes to find coffee that’s produced sustainably. This latest coffee by Quan comes from a farm that prioritizes water conservation and organic farming techniques, is certified USDA organic and bird friendly.
For her, it’s all connected.
“I think it’s really important in the world that we’re in now,” she says. “A lot of big chains like Starbucks don’t care about ethical sourcing.”
As someone who started working in coffee at a big chain, Hernandez says that it’s important to understand where coffee comes from — something that many who drink it on a daily basis don’t stop to think about.
According to a 2018 report by the International Coffee Organization, 70 percent of the work of coffee production is done by women, but only 20-30 percent of farms are
“There are women throughout the entire process of the coffee industry doing extraordinary things,” she says.
Currently, Hernandez works for Chandler’s, a coffee shop in downtown Greensboro that took over the old Green Bean location. As someone who’s been in the industry for a while now, she says that women touch every part of the coffee pipeline, from growing to processing to roasting to selling to serving.
“We’re promoting the fact that women are doing extraordinary things and that they should be highlighted,” she says.
Now that she’s graduated from UNCG, Hernandez hopes to do another product launch this year. She’s looking forward to planning more pour-over pop-up events too.
“I just love being able to finally share it with everyone and seeing how much people enjoy it,” she says. “I just love coffee so much; it just brings everyone together.”
