It is deeply disheartening to see so many layoffs across the digital media and journalism industries, and especially at my own place of work. If such has been the case for you, please feel free to get in touch—in general of course, but especially if I know someone with whom you'd like to be connected. I may not be a CEO, or have magic powers (that I know of), but I do know a lot of people and am always happy to make intros.
It's a really disheartening time right now for journalists, especially journalists working within feminist media. I was laid off from my role at People last month after only being at the company for precisely one month. I've applied to countless positions and have endured numerous interviews and edit tests only to be told "I wasn't the right fit." With that being said, I've decided to start my own newsletter that focuses on the nuances health and wellness. My goal is revolutionize feminist media and shed a spotlight on important, yet often overlooked stories. For December, I'm partnering with Nadya Okamoto and her company, August for an exclusive giveaway. Subscribers will have the chance to win a gift basket filled with amazing August products, including their sustainable pads and tampons. If you or someone you know appreciates female-forward content, tell them to subscribe. I would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word about my work. Additionally, I'm currently available for freelance opportunities. If you know anyone in need of a part-time writer or editor, I'd be grateful if you could refer them to me! https://therosereport.substack.com/
