"The environment I had been in for almost two years had really torn me."

👩🏻Daniela Garrido, a creative storyteller and former news reporter, graduated with a bachelors in broadcast journalism from the University of Florida. She began her career in the news industry in Bakersfield, California, market size 125, according to the Nielsen DMA’s ranking.

📺She left the news industry after 22 months of working for a TV station with a salary of $35,000. “This wasn’t enough to pay for groceries or minor mishaps,” according to Daniela.

🏠The average rent price in Bakersfield, CA is $1,294. If Daniela spent 25% of her salary’s monthly net income, –what experts recommend you spend on rent– she could only afford a mid-range apartment between $600 to $800. This would be a rent price that would better allow her to have enough cash left for other expenses, debt and savings.

👩🏼Sarah French is a three-time Emmy Award winning journalist who has turned her pain into her purpose.

🎥She’s been in the news industry for almost 15 years and after covering the Boston Marathon bombing and the death of her friend and colleague, Alice Morrin, due to domestic violence, Sarah began to research how to help journalists who cover traumatic events.

📺She’s a broadcast news anchor for the NBC affiliate, WCNC Charlotte, in market size 22 according to the Nielsen DMA rankings. She previously worked at WHDH in Boston, MA, and at WTIC in Hartford, CT, where she had to share –from the news desk– the news of Alice’s death. After this, Sarah worked side by side with Connecticut legislators to pass a 911 texting bill in honor of her friend's life and to offer more tools to support domestic violence survivors.

☎️Thanks to Sarah’s initiative, Text-to-911 is currently available in multiple locations. “The FCC encourages emergency call centers to begin accepting texts, but it is up to each call center to decide the particular method in which to implement and deploy text-to-911 technology,” according to the federal communications commission website.
