I’ll highlight the stories in the news that I covered in the Daily Find. Without a Duolingo reminder to keep me going, I’ve somehow managed to post something every day since I launched on May 9.

You can check the stories every day through Instagram @BeyondNonJD. And no need to follow unless you’d like to also see the regular content. I’m not trying to become an influencer and the account is public!
