More about me
I'm a student at Craig Newmark Grad School of Journalism at CUNY but have worked in print/web for 4 years. I have worked in France and Canada and now live in the US. I created and hosted a podcast called "Ricochets" (in French) on trauma and what lingers after violence. I'm interested in questions of race, gender, migrant justice, prisons, trans rights, LGBTQ2S issues, decolonization and indigeneity. I'm interested in going into audio, my dream is learning and working with Code Switch and bringing it to France because it's so hard to talk about race there. Meanwhile, I work as a correspondant with the Bondy Blog, a French Blog, and I report on issues of race in the US through the French lens to see what resonates.
