Born and raised in Central Texas, she is interested in the intersections of culture and justice. Her work has taken her across the globe, having reported on entertainment in Los Angeles, immigration and cannabis racial justice in Chicago, gender-based violence in South Africa and the international student experience in China. When she’s not in the newsroom, she is rollerskating, studying abolition, making playlists, baking and updating her Letterboxd and Goodreads profiles. You can connect with her on Twitter: @latesha_eharris.
