I find it interesting that when a Micronesian does something great, they get just a few paragraphs in the news (see article on Ms. George's success). But when a Micronesian does something wrong, they get their mugshots posted everywhere and all of their issues aired out in the news and on social media.
I've thought about that a lot, K. It's part of the reason I started The Husk to provide a counter narrative to what mainstream news orgs have typically produced, at least from what I read on Guam. And that's why I'm grateful for readers like you!
OMG totally love this! First time to actually read tis and now I am looking forward for more. Jas you're the goddess of micro-micro media, I shared this on Facebook for as a first-timer reading this piece, when I reach "One" I was already getting a feeling that this needs to feature a song - so, I was more than surprised to see Chuuk's super hot version of "How can I get over you". Gorl, please check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw1oXtuj3O0 from 686. Love you gorl
