We are very excited to welcome media journalist Ayesha Rascoe to WMG for a virtual Power Hour. Ayesha will discuss her new book, HBCU MADE: A Celebration of the Black College Experience, and her career journey, which has led her to hosting NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday. HBCU MADE is the first book of its kind to feature famous alumni sharing direct accounts of their Black college experience. Curated and edited by Ayesha, the collection includes essays by a diverse and distinguished group of HBCU graduates, including Oprah Winfrey and Stacey Abrams, about the schools that nurtured, challenged, and educated them. Prior to her current role, Rascoe was a NPR White House correspondent and a regular on the NPR Politics Podcast. Before joining NPR, Rascoe spent the first decade of her career at Reuters, where she covered some of the biggest energy and environmental stories of this century, including the 2010 BP oil spill. She’s a proud graduate of Howard University. There will be time for live Q&A with Ayesha.
