In this episode, we speak with award-winning Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Helen Ubiñas about her career path, themes in her writing, the challenges of being a woman of color in journalism, and why she created The Ñ Fund, a scholarship fund for Latinas who want to pursue a career in journalism. We'll also speak with young Idaho journalist Mariela Esquivel Rodriguez, the first recipient of the The Ñ Fund for Latinas in Journalism award.
