Former website for Photojournalist known as Reginald James

In 2013, I decided to change my name from Reginald James to Rasheed Shabazz. I leave this site full of bread crumbs, gratitude for all the support Reginald received. To follow me as I proceed down a new path, follow: Rasheed El Shabazz.

Reginald was born in Oakland, CA and raised in the nearby island city of Alameda. He is currently studying African American Studies and Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. He previously attended Oakland's Laney College where he focused on African American Studies, journalism, and political science.

He enjoys reading, poetry, theater, arts and photography. He loves to play outside and enjoys hiking, canoeing, bicycling and hunting (for oxygen).

Reginald is the online manager for Onyx Express Magazine, an 19-year-old student magazine at UC Berkeley. He also produces Morning News each week at UC Berkeley's KALX and previously hosted of the internet radio show, "The Black Hour" on 9th Floor Radio. He curates the website, Bay Area Kwanzaa.

New ( Alameda) Basketball League Fires Up Summertime

NEW BASKETBALL LEAGUE FIRES UP SUMMERTIME -------------------------------------------------- Alameda Journal August 2, 2005 By KARA ANDRADE STAFF WRITER FROM ITS PARKING lot, Chipman Middle School is like any other school during the long drowsy days of summer, abandoned and forgotten in the minds of most students. But the sudden shouts and squeaking of shoes by the gym wakens the evening as teenagers pour out from the side doors in clusters of horseplay and laughter. "Get it from them, Manny!" shouts James Howard, coach of the Alameda Point Stallions who are competing with the Slammers as part of the Boys & Girls Club newly formed basketball league, which began July 19. "Don't waste the clock!" Howard paces as if caged behind the sidelines. The score is 8 to 2, there are two minutes left on the clock, and the Stallions are ablaze in a desperate attempt to bring a respectable ending to the 10-minute game. The clock is relentless, and Dan Ng...

So the multimedia journalist plans to create community on the Web. This fall, he will launch the Onyx Express Digital, an online, mobile friendly and hyperlocal companion to the university's 18-year-old magazine for Black students. The idea landed the junior from Alameda, CA, a $20,000 scholarship.
