Let's Connect

It depends on what you need, and MB keeps these lanes separate on purpose. To have MB cover your event, that's The Equity Read — learn how it works on the Equity Read page, and sponsoring organizations underwrite it through the Partners page. To hire consulting (clinical AI, operations, strategy, comms), that's MB Advisory at linktr.ee/melaninai — a separate practice, walled from editorial. For an editorial collaboration or anything that doesn't fit a box, email amber@mbmedia.co.

Email is best: amber@mbmedia.co. You can call 914.497.1480, or book a call at linktr.ee/melaninai.

Email amber@mbmedia.co with the subject line Pitch. Tell us who or what, why it matters for Black and Brown communities, and the health-equity angle. One thing to know up front: coverage is editorial and earned — never paid. Being featured is separate from sponsoring or funding the work, and the wall between them never moves.

Send it. For general pitches, email amber@mbmedia.co. Name the segment if you have one in mind — MB Rate My Bill (submit a hospital bill for line-by-line review), Diagnose Bias, The Hospital on Your Block, and others. For sensitive material or documents, use the secure channels below to protect yourself.

MB takes accuracy as seriously as independence. Email amber@mbmedia.co with the subject Correction — include the piece, the specific claim in question, and any documentation. We review every good-faith request, correct the record when the facts warrant it, and offer right of reply where appropriate. Independence doesn't mean we're not accountable; it means accountability runs to the facts and to our readers.

That's The Equity Read — independent, on-the-ground coverage that leaves the room better than it found it. See the Equity Read page for how it works; sponsoring organizations underwrite it through MB's Conference & Event Partnership on the Partners page. MB keeps editorial control, every time.

MB's reporting and the Health Equity Journalism™ framework are original work. Short quotes with clear attribution and a link back are welcome. For reprints, licensing, syndication, or republication of full pieces, email amber@mbmedia.co first. Please don't reproduce MB's work or category language as your own.

Email amber@mbmedia.co with the subject Press. A full press kit — boilerplate, founder bio, brand assets, and fast facts — is available on request.
