Why stay a while and subscribe to capitalize the B?

Good question! I'd love to answer it. My name is Murjani Rawls, and I'm a decade-long journalist, editor, five-time self-published author, podcast producer, and photographer. I write about culture and food at NJ.com/The Star Ledger and was the inaugural Culture Editor at DraftKings Nation / Vox Media. I was previously a staff writer at The Root, senior editor and writer at Substream Magazine, and senior writer, editor, and podcast producer at The Pop Break. I'm a member of WGA East and the Critics Choices Association.

I created capitalizetheB out of a very turbulent time for all of us back in 2020. In a time when we as a collective were searching for something (anything really!) to make sense of things constantly breaking down around us. Writing has always been my method of communication and out of that came a new home.

The media landscape is in complete flux, and journalists have been on the receiving end of losing places to share their passions and craft. I felt it was essential to create a place to put all my crazy and unattached ideas on movies, television, theater, current events, and whatever my heart desires. Creativity works best when you let it roam and be curious. That's precisely what I plan to do here and I'm thankful you would consider joining me on that journey.
