On this episode we're joined by Mikayla Newton. Mikayla is a freelance reporter and anchor in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area often focusing on news and education stories. She's an adjunct lecturer at the University of Maryland. And she's the president and founder of a non-profit aimed at empowering future journalists, The Mikayla Newton Foundation. She is a graduate from Georgia State with a Masters from Syracuse.
Mikayla talked about what she learned from working as a weekend morning news anchor, her current project about private schools doing radical things in education in the DMV, and the goals of her foundation (which most recently awarded its first scholarship).
