Welcome to my first freelance roundup of 2024!

I had a busy February writing articles for sites new and old. My most proudest accomplishment comes from the pop-punk alt. rock news website idobi, where I wrote about Black pop-punk and alt. rock acts for Black History Month. I also wrote another fun piece for Black History Month for Popverse, but more on that in a minute.

Without further ado, here are my freelance articles from January and February 2024.

Autostraddle

5 Great RPGs for the Switch Lite– Since I have had my Switch Lite for a whole year now, I decided it would be fun to write about role playing video games that I’ve enjoyed playing on the handheld device.
