On this episode, we’re joined by Emma Restrepo. Emma is a freelance journalist focused on LatinX communities. She hosts a weekly Spanish-language radio show, Dos Puntos – out of Philadelphia. She’s also an adjunct professor at Temple, teaching Spanish for Media.
Emma talked about her journalism origin story, some of her recent projects – one on disparities of education in Philadelphia suburbs, another a storytelling project on a local bus route. She also discussed the challenges she faces in trying to write and shared some of her favorite Latina journalists throughout history.
