What are you most excited about in the news industry today?

I’m excited to see other women starting up new media ventures—like Epicenter NYC and Capital B—that center communities of color and draw the practice of daily journalism much closer to the people served by that journalism.

What is your advice for aspiring women journalists?

Prioritize yourself. Know your values and your worth, and look for job opportunities, creative spaces, mentors, and communities where you find alignment with both.
