“Lori’s work is incredibly important. She combines her expertise as a brilliant, dedicated journalist and her own lived experience of trauma and homelessness to tell the stories of people experiencing social injustice in a way that highlights both their individual uniqueness and agency and the systemic and structural conditions that cause trauma for so many people. Working with Lori to prepare for the panel event that we organized together was a delight, and a learning experience, as we got to know each other and came to a shared understanding of what would work best. Lori’s presentation was powerful, our conversation afterwards flowed naturally, and she responded to Q & A from the audience with grace. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

“Lori Teresa Yearwood is an outstanding journalist! Her presentation with us as a Yale Poynter Fellow in Journalism illuminated the importance of our paying attention to the impact and manifestations of trauma in the lives of everyday people, in journalistic stories, in social policy, and in community well-being. We learned and are continuing to learn from her.
Thanks for Everything, Lori!
Kyle”
