In this extra episode of the Radio DePaul Podcast, Neelam takes a look at the National Association of Black Journalist's chapter at DePaul. Neelam joined NABJ earlier this academic year and interviewed Monique Petty Ashmeade, one of the students who helped establish the DePaul chapter.
Monique talks about how she helped create the DePaul NABJ chapter and why there wasn't one like it before. The episode highlights the importance of the organization, what it stands for and how Black DePaul students can benefit from joining.
Monique also highlights some of the multicultural organizations on campus that have helped her on her academic journey and encourages other students of color to get involved as well. Such organizations include DePaul's Office of Multicultural Student Success (OMSS) and the school's STAR program for first generation students. 
Students who are interested in joining the NABJ should contact the group's advisor — Journalism professor and award winning documentary maker, Judith McCray at jmccray1@depaul.edu.
