Into the Record Episode 3

How Mitra Kalita Created a New Media Model Centering Abundance and Inclusivity Out of the Twin Crises of Covid and Racial Injustice

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:  Veteran journalist, media executive, and Epicenter-NYC co-founder Mitra Kalita shares her story of how growing up between New York and Puerto Rico, punctuated by visits to India, led her to journalism as a tween, and the foundation of a community that’s supported her throughout life.

Then, she and Make Justice Normal co-founder and host Monique Aiken discuss being Black-centered and doing “the work” even if, or perhaps, especially when, someone isn’t Black. Learn about what it takes, to create media spaces to address the needs of the community, and what it means to truly uplift BIPOC voices.
