In this episode of The Pivot Fund Pod, host Haeven Gibbons talks with MLK50’s Co-Executive Directors, Ayanna Watkins and Adrienne Martin, about how co-leadership strengthens justice-centered journalism, deepens accountability to community needs, and helps prevent burnout in local news. They share how their lived experiences shape their roles, how shared decision-making works day to day, and what other community outlets can learn from MLK50’s approach. This episode offers a thoughtful, candid look at why shared leadership is more than a structure — it’s a strategy for sustainability.
