EP 189: Tanzina Vega’s (graceful) takeaway

Modern Minorities

“We as women and women of color, are not allowed the same ability and/or grace to mess up, to get angry, to set standards, and that is really where we need to develop. None of us are infallible.”

For more than a decade, Tanzina Vega’s award-winning journalism has centered on inequality in the United States through the lens of race and gender. From working at the New York Times, WNYC (NPR), and CNN—she’s someone whose work we have followed for years. In the next chapter of her career, Tanzina’s work continues at the intersection of journalism, education, and outspoken activism. In a candid conversation that goes places we didn’t expect, we cover not just the journey of Tanzina’s personal and professional life—from growing up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to working in some of the most influential spaces in media (often with a minority perspective)—but we understand how she approaches and navigates a world that doesn’t always give the grace it should.
