An incredible loss. Home will feel a lot less kind and not nearly as cool without you in it. Rest well, friend❤️
We are deeply saddened to inform you of the death of longtime Gazette features reporter @TGazABrand at his home over the weekend. He was 50 years old. We share the shock and heartbreak of Aaron's loved ones and the many he touched with his two decades of work at the paper.

For the series, I’ve held conversations with Black folks about the mythology of Black flight and our relation to it. Lots of words on freedom and healing came out. This first mural is my own portrait. Imagining myself unweighted. (📷 Steve weinik)
