Zacharias R. is a multimedia videographer, and independent journalist; as well he is an active member in his community who is dedicated to sharing his knowledge, dedication and experiences with others. He passionately believes in embodying the changes he wishes to see in the world by creating purposeful information, and amazing contents for communities that are affected by a myriad of social issues. Zakariyah most recent project included social justice themed articles for the Georgia Public Defender Council, added vibrant and elegant information on the struggle, and hardship of the Public Defender Offices statewide. By collaborating with local non-profits organizations such as the ACLU, and The Bail Project. His passion as an independent news journalist, started in high school while he was enlisted in the Marine Corps. Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps as an Cadet Corporal, and began his tasks of documenting, and photography his fellow cadets during routine exercises, drills, field trips, and etc. He assisted an panel of writers, and edited with the Washington Post wrote an articles about the increasing level of sexual harassment cases at Camp Pendleton. This journalist confesses that after these experiences, “[Ever since then] I would dream about how amazing it'd be to get to do that for a living. I've always loved news gathering, and sharing stories, but I never knew it was truly possible to make it a career.” Zaccheus is a living testament to many that it's possible to make a living reporting news articles, investigating corruption corporations, and governmental actors, creating contents that serve a greater good for the masses. Another pivotal event in the journey to the Darien Gap in South America; investigating news worthy contents on human smuggling operations by the Gangs Cartel, and funded by the American government. These connections made on his journey had raised many controversial facts, and the lack of confidence in local elected officials in Venezuela, Colombia, Panama and Ecuador. The disillusioned that the Central and South America's Countries will stop aiding these cartels from operations, are far reaching. And many state elected officials back home have done more to stop the aid of drug cartels than the Federal Government has done; the decriminalization of recreational hard use drugs, have done more to halt the funding of the international terrorist organization.
