Natasha won first place at the Maat Awards competition in the headline-writing category. Awards were presented at a banquet in conjunction with the 2006 National Association of Black Journalists regional conference in Oklahoma City. As part of the conference, Natasha also led a print journalism student practicum in which high school and college students produced a newspaper called “The Voice,” which correlated with the conference theme, “Making Our Voices Heard.” In July, Natasha was selected to participate as a fellow (one of 18 from across the country) at the Summer Institute for Midcareer Copy Editors at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
