Episode 15: From Houston to Hosting the Stevie Wonder Show: Navigating the News & Entertainment Industry Through the Diaspora's Lens w/ Amen Oyiboke
Greetings and Welcome to S2 Ep. 03!
In this episode, we are discussing how women of color living in the diaspora who have a passion for writing and dream to share their stories on major news and entertainment platforms can start a career in journalism. Joining me in tonight's conversation is my good friend Amen Oyiboke. Amen is a powerhouse woman rocking the journalism space and is on a mission to change the perception of women of color who have faced industry bias and discrimination in modern-day media.
About Amen
Amen is all things self-discovery and purpose — from being a journalist to hosting, to music and mentoring Amen is constantly exploring ways to create a legacy for the next generation. A native of Houston, Texas, and a proud product of Prairie View A&M University, Amen started her journalism journey right after moving to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California (USC). Although moving from Houston to Los Angeles was a big step for Amen, she knew that if she could move out of her comfort zone, she could be a better professional and a better woman. Amen prides herself on her work ethic and continues to change the perception of modern-day media. Her media and writing credits include pieces for H Texas Magazine, Annenberg Radio News, the Debbie Allen Dance Academy, Pilates Style Magazine, and countless red carpet interviews. Amen also worked as a contributor with the Los Angeles Sentinel Newspaper, Bustle, Yahoo Finance, and hosted on Stevie Wonder’s LA station 102.3. She currently works at CTI, a personal finance publication, and is working on two documentaries to be released in 2021.
