This Ramadan felt undeniably special to us, filled with community gatherings, generosity, and many more of the values we aim to uphold throughout the year.

Half of NowThis News Staff Laid Off, Union Says variety.com/2024/digital/new…
Jasmine Amjad retweeted
Getting laid off after 4.5 years at NowThis was gutting, but the outpouring of love, support, and appreciation I've received has been overwhelming. We are all stronger together, and I'm so grateful to all the folks who've reached out today — it means more than you know. ❤️

If you had to point to one person as the heart of soul of what NowThis was, look no further than Jas. Long hours, hellish commuting times, and ever-changing newsroom—-she’s the true MVP.
