It’s Women's History Month, and we’re celebrating the vital impact of women in media and journalism. Let us welcome esteemed journalists Versha Sharma (Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue), Koa Beck (Former Editor-in-Chief of Jezebel and the co-host of “The #MeToo Memos” on WNYC’s The Takeaway), and Marina Fang (Former Senior Culture reporter at HuffPost). In conversation with Keitanya Klien, writer and former Girls Write Now mentee, they discuss their rich, generational experiences as women of color in the industry and share advice on how they built their careers. Listen to this honest, inspiring conversation about navigating the ever-changing media and journalism landscape, the importance of elevating marginalized voices, and the urgency of sharing your own story.
Speaking in First Draft is a production by Girls Write Now.
