Podcasting battles East Coast bias
I’m a Metrocard-carrying New Yorker, so I say this from a place of love. In 2019, New York, and by extension the East Coast, will have to accept that it simply cannot be the center of podcasting if we want our industry to grow and thrive while avoiding the pitfalls legacy media still faces because of its East Coast bias. [Ducks for cover.] Hear me out.

Watch Me Work: Happy Anniversary to Me! – Juleyka Lantigua-Williams – Medium
This Friday will be the first anniversary of starting my production company, and I am in absolute awe of the year that has just transpired. First there was fear. Then there was panic. Followed by a month of depressive naps. But soon there was joy at the cheer possibilities ahead of me. And so much gratitude. For the friends, colleagues and mentors who believed in me. For the clients who took a chance on me. (I have never written so many thank-you notes in my life.) For the family that put up with me.
Watch Me Work: I Am Not Special – Juleyka Lantigua-Williams – Medium
After so many years as a woman of color in media, I have the privilege to mentor young professionals, especially younger women starting out, those pivoting in or out of the industry, or a few who are trying to ‘get free.’ After the usual questions about how my career and how I took the leap to start my own company, we get to a moment in the conversation that is becoming easier for me to recognize. It is the moment when, always without being prompted, I tell the young professional, “Don’t worry.
Watch Me Work: How I Stopped ‘Speculating’ And Became Free
This is a lesson that took a long time to learn. And much of the learning took place in my personal relationships. But the lesson has translated magnificently to my role as a solopreneur. First, I’ll define what I mean by ‘speculating.’ [I am offering this definition based solely on the emotional work I have seen women of color perform in their personal and professional lives. So, as a representative sample, it is limited.
Watch Me Work: “Congrats on Your Rejection Letter!”
I connected with a Latina filmmaker this week. She’s been working on her film for four years and just got accepted into a competitive summer film intensive program. She’d also been submitting grant proposals for the last few months, and was bummed about getting her first rejection letter. To her utter dismay — probably because we were 7 minutes into our first conversation ever — I shouted into the phone: She said softly, “No, sorry, I said I got a rejection letter.” “I know. I heard you.
Watch Me Work: I Picked One Talent, And Am Building From It
When I decided to launch my own production company, the first impulse was to do everything myself. I didn’t have money to hire anyone, so that kept things really simple. I was also building the whole thing one decision at at time. And there were thousands of little decisions and a few dozen really big ones that I could not really delegate because I didn’t know I’d be facing them until I did.
‘Watch Me Work’ – Juleyka Lantigua-Williams – Medium
Hi. Thanks for stopping by. I’m Juleyka, a news media pro who decided to start her own company last year. It’s been wonderful and wild. But instead of keeping my aha and oh-shit moments to myself (or the loving friends who support me), I’ve decided to write a weekly column so other women (and the loving men who support them) can look behind the curtain at what it’s really like to launch and run a business without any venture capital.
Women of color will reclaim and monetize our time
Journalists accept that time is treated like our least valuable asset — that others will abuse it, that we must relinquish it to the whims of editors, and that inconsiderate sources and aggressive publicists will squander it. Most of us don’t think twice about cancelling plans with loved ones, staying at work overnight, waiting three hours for someone with whom we had an appointment, or cloistering ourselves during a long weekend to finish that feature we’ve been working on for months.
How Many People Are Really Killed By Police in the United States?

Why We Need More Women of Color Running Their Own Businesses Under a Trump Presidency
Let’s face it: Half the country has been in a funk since Nov. 9. Not only did Donald Trump become president, but he went about shoring up white supremacy as swiftly as possible. Under his leadership, hate groups have grown and protections for marginalized people have been eagerly dismantled by the administration. And people of color, women and anyone who can be identified as “other” on a census form became even more obvious targets of overt prejudice, racist violence and blatant sexism.
The First National Database Of Police Crimes Puts Rape Culture On Blast
A first-of-its kind public database reveals disturbing details about sex crimes committed by police officers. The new Henry A. Wallace Police Crime Database chronicles more than 8,000 arrests of police officers and 13,600 charges filed in the United States between 2005 and 2012. Philip Stinson, the database’s creator, began gathering public data over a decade ago.

The Impact of Violent Crime on Economic Mobility
A new study shows just how much growing up in a violent neighborhood can harm an individual’s economic prospects later in life. The sad fact is that American kids today may be the first generation who do not eclipse their parents’ economic status.
Before taking action against hate, white people should look inward
In the aftermath of racist violence like what unfolded in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend, one visceral reaction is a call to action — a call by outraged activists, by politicians who want to provide moral leadership, and by ordinary people who ask themselves what they can do in the face of extraordinary hatred.

After The Racist Violence In Charlottesville, I Dread Showing Up To A Mostly-White Office
After the deadly white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend, scores of Americans walked into majority-white workspaces today feeling dread and anxiety. Had I not taken the entrepreneurial route earlier this year and started a business, I would have been among them. But I know the special apprehension and anguish many people of color feel after racist attacks on our basic right to exist as Americans anywhere.
Here's How Justine Damond Would've Been Treated If She Were Black, According To Experts
When Justine Damond was shot and killed by a police officer on July 15, the outcry over her death was immediate. A 40-year-old white woman from Australia, Damond was immediately praised for her alleged kindness, the fact that she led meditation groups, and her beauty. The juxtaposition of this response with how women like Sandra Bland and Charleena Lyles were treated was immediately obvious. If Damond had been black, the media's portrayal of her would've been very different.
Why There Won't Be Any Protests After The Police Shooting Of Justine Damond
Justine Damond was white and Mohamed Noor, the officer who allegedly shot her, is black. That’s the shortest distance between two distant worlds in the U.S., and it’s a deep crevice that people like Damond and Noor disappear into because they don’t fit the conventional narratives about police violence. She’s not a black victim whose life was cut short by a trigger-happy white cop. He’s not a white officer claiming he feared for his life in the face of a dangerous black aggressor.
In Police Shootings, Blue Is The Color That Matters Most
Monday morning’s news out of Seattle that police officers shot and killed Charleena Lyles, an expectant mother who’d called for help because she suspected a robbery was taking place, is disheartening but not shocking. For many, last week’s acquittal of the police officer who shot Philando Castille, a permit-carrying gun owner riding in the passenger seat of a car with his family, is another example of how police, literally, get away with murder.
To be American, first 'speak English,' study says
You've probably heard someone complain about an automated voice system that requires the caller to "Press one for English." The gripe usually includes a complaint about this being America and English being the official language. Not quite. The U.S. does not have an official language. Never has. But, it seems that a wide swath of the country strongly associates being "truly American" with speaking English.
