Zuri
I’m a sports writer and producer for Boston.com and The Boston Globe, originally from San Francisco. I’m a graduate of California State University, Chico and I’ve been writing for newspapers the last 10 years, covering sports in Massachusetts and California as well as municipalities like Oakland and Nevada City. I’ve also penned an award-winning column for The Union’s sports section, touching on preps, pro and community sports. Since I’ve been at the Globe, I’ve helped cover the NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup Finals and a Super Bowl. My focus at work is often football related, whether that’s the New England Patriots or high schools. But I’m also known to tweet about the Boston Celtics. I also freelance on the side.
If you’re wondering, my name is Swahili. It means “beautiful” or “handsome.” And if you believe everything you read, it also means I’m a girl.
I’m a connoisseur of popcorn flicks. I love good cinematography, awkward situational comedies and a cacophony of explosions to keep my attention deficit disorder at bay.
The only musicals I like are old ones.
Politics are fun … and wholly depressing.
My current favorite drink is a Greyhound. No salt.
I practice the Secret. But I’ve never read the book.
Here, you’ll find my thoughts on journalism, writing, culture, technology, sports and more. This is my playground. Enjoy it with me.
