Have you ever wanted to meet a reporter and share a story idea? Do you have questions about how journalists decide what goes into a news story—and what gets left out? What do you think about the way Minnesota reporters cover policing and public safety?

Jada Pulley remembers their first experience at the Black and Funny Improv Festival: “It felt like a cookout. Like I knew these people already.” Now the festival’s co-director, Pulley is excited to create a space where other performers can share that experience. The festival, which runs Wednesday through Sunday in Minneapolis, is now in its seventh year and has no plans on stopping. In fact, the festival has grown to support other spaces. Pulley is the founder of the Queer and Funny Improv Festival.
