Breaking Into Journalism When You Don’t Know Where to Start


Listen Later

How do you nurture a big dream,  especially when you don’t have a roadmap?
In this listener Q&A segment, Jeannette Reyes and Mona Kosar Abdi share what it was like becoming journalists as daughters of immigrants, and how they found their voices in an industry where they didn’t always see themselves reflected. From reading scripts off an iPad in the living room to landing anchor desks, they reflect on visualization, storytelling, and the underrated power of immigrant kids who know how to translate everything.
Whether you’re raising the next generation of storytellers or finding your own voice, this one’s for you
