Episode 80: Jina Moore

When Jina Moore was in Middle School she became intensely curious about the Holocaust, reading about everything she could on the subject. That curiosity improbably led a girl from a small town in West Virginia to become pen pals with the woman who hid Anne Frank.

These days, Jina is based in Nairobi, Kenya and is the international women’s rights correspondent for Buzzfeed, where she’s covered key stories, including the ebola outbreak. On a personal note, she is someone whose reporting I’ve come to rely on to have a deeper and more textured understanding of important global issues.

I love this episode and I think you will too. Her own story is so fascinating and I encourage you to follow her work on Buzzfeed. As always send me an email or hit me up on twitter @MarkLGoldberg; I love hearing from you guys–keep the emails coming.
