West Dallas, it’s time to celebrate!
For more than three years, you’ve invited us into your community and trusted us with your stories. Now, we want to thank you, our neighbors, for working alongside us to change the way journalism is done in Dallas — for and with the people.
Tonight’s live DJ and taquero are both from West Dallas, and we’ll have aguas frescas, a photo booth, karaoke and more! Did we mention this is FREE for all West Dallas neighbors, and open to anyone who wants to celebrate with us?
We will not be asking anything of attendees, but there will be opportunities to give us feedback on our work and suggestions of topics and issues you want us to focus on, and to learn about how you can become a Dallas Documenter.
Don’t miss out! Let us know you’re coming, here.

Keri Mitchell has spent 20+ years as a community journalist, including 15 years dedicated to community and civic journalism at Dallas’ Advocate magazines. She launched Dallas Free Press in early 2020 with the belief that all neighborhoods deserve reporting and storytelling that values their community and holds leaders accountable.
Mitchell says she is energized by “knowing our work is making an impact — listening to people, telling their stories with strong narratives paired with compelling data that leads to change. I also love spending time in our neighborhoods and with our neighbors, learning from them and working to determine how journalism can be part of the solution to their challenges.”
Mitchell is proud to be the winner of multiple awards during her journalism career including: Finalist in Magazine Feature Reporting (2018) and Finalist in Magazine Investigative Reporting (2017) from Hugh Aynesworth Excellence in Journalism, Best Feature Story (2011) from Texas Community Newspaper Association and Best Magazine Feature (2011) from Dallas Bar Association Philbin Awards.
