After a year of "maternity service", I'm back as Senior Video Producer at @TheiPaper.
I'm excited to get back to telling stories that cut through.
Got a great story, social video idea or emerging trend I should know about? DMs open.

Can you figure out this year's annual Christmas challenge by GCHQ? 🤔

New: The Holocaust Museum of LA offered Kanye West a private tour, hoping it would change his views. West turned their invitation down, and said “Planned Parenthood" was his “Holocaust museum.” Now, the LA Holocaust museum is being flooded with antisemitic messages and threats.
