More about me
I am an aspiring multimedia journalist who was previously a bilingual public health researcher. Audio journalism was the reason I pivoted careers a couple of years ago and since then, I've followed all of my curiosities. I have been a reporter, cut tape, done editing, booking, sourcing, social media management and strategy, online live events, and external collaborations.
Next up, I want to expand my storytelling through magazine writing, digital experiences, and podcast projects pulling the curtains on the growing pains of communities of color in the U.S. I get hella excited to work on all things related to wellness, social justice, lifestyle, arts, and culture.
I am a Next Generation Radio alum, a Gwen Ifill Fellow, a past NPR National Desk intern, the recipient of ProPublica's 2018 Diversity Scholarship, and a Gates Millennium Scholar.
This website is a growing directory of people of color who work in audio around the world. You’ll find editors, hosts, writers, producers, sound designers, engineers, project managers, musicians, reporters, and content strategists with varied experience from within the industry and in related fields.
It’s both a place for employers to find POC candidates, and a place where POC can find each other for meetups, collaborations, advice and so on, which means that not everyone you’ll see on here is actively looking for a job.
To our POC family: we see you and we stand with you. Let’s continue to support each other.
If you’re an employer, we need to talk.
*clears throat*
While recruiting diverse candidates is a great first step, it’s not going to be enough if we want the industry to look and sound meaningfully different in the future. Let us be clear: this isn’t about numbers alone. This is about getting the respect that people of color—and people of different faiths, abilities, ages, socioeconomic statuses, educational backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientation—deserve. So before you get started, here are the Terms of Service:
I will pay employees a living wage.
I will consider the ways in which my workspace might be hostile to people of color and find concrete ways to support their contributions and wellbeing.
I will continually reflect on how my networks, taste, curiosity, comfort and values are shaped by my race, class, gender, where I grew up, the media I consume, and the fact that we live in a white supremacist culture. This takes time. It will require vulnerability, and a commitment to ongoing learning.
I understand that this directory is not ZipRecruiter, and that expanding my hiring practices requires that I dedicate some time to engaging with potential candidates in a deeper way than simply scanning their years of industry experience.
