I am a journalist, but I’m also..How do your identities shape your work? When did you intersections help you do your job better or help you approach work differently?
Having worked in a male-dominated field myself—journalism that is focused on organized crime—I was fascinated by the reality of women in the drug trade in ways that might not have occurred to my male colleagues. My background as a runner and in other sports gave me the endurance I needed to start and continue to ask questions, win access, and so on: to keep going even when things became painful and even boring., shares the stories of women crime bosses in Latin America.
I fell for the stereotype that women in criminal organizations tend to be the good faces of those groups—kind of the PR side. But as I investigated and traveled and asked questions I realized that women were, in some cases, as formidable and violent as their male counterparts, sometimes even more so. I also understood how—much like many of the strong women around me—women had much more agency than the existing narratives gave them credit for.
