Biography

I'm SaMya Overall, an editor, writer, and social media manager. With extensive experience in social media management and a knack for crafting compelling narratives, I amplify diverse voices for meaningful conversations. As a meticulous copy editor, I adhere to the highest style standards to ensure every word resonates. I also love books — and how they create meaningful impact and connections for underrepresented readers like me, a Black woman who fell in love with reading but only saw strictly white heroines. I value community journalism and creative expression, driven by my unwavering commitment to providing important information to the public, specifically in my hometown, Detroit.

Outlier Media is a groundbreaking nonprofit newsroom designed to center and respond to Detroiters' needs. We believe local news can do more for communities than just cover what happens to them. Our reporting addresses information gaps, systemic failures and connection gaps that create harm in our community. We are a model for others who believe that democratizing information and redistributing power is essential. Our newsroom works toward a vision of a liberated city with healthy civic infrastructure rooted in Detroiters' participation and self-determination.
