Reparative Journalism Program Manager
Free Press
Diamond Hardiman (she/hers) is a cultural organizer grown from the love of a family from Aurora and Park Hill, Colorado. In her role at Free Press, she builds power needed to forge a reparative media future. She works with the Media 2070 team to name what is required for local-news ecosystems to confront their histories of anti-Black harm and listen to communities seeding repair. Before joining Free Press, she worked as a tenants-rights advocate in downtown St. Louis, a bail-support and resource advocate at the St. Louis Bail Project, and a member of a post-conviction team for men facing capital punishment in Jackson, Mississippi. She graduated summa cum laude from Saint Louis University with a degree in African American studies and political science. When she isn’t dreaming up new worlds for journalism, you can find her loving on her people, resting well and marveling at nature.
