Rossana is a Bilingual Equity Reporter at KGNU, an independent, non commercial, community radio station reaching Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins and beyond. As a multiethnic immigrant woman from Ecuador, she has been providing information with - and for - underrepresented populations in her local community. As part of her work, she produces weekly reports about issues that pertain to those most affected by the existing socioeconomic and racial inequalities in Boulder County that air during daily early morning news show KGNU Morning Magazine hosted by Maeve Conran. For the last year Rossana, with the support of the KGNU’s News Director Maeve Conran and Digital News Producer Hannah Leigh Meyers, has been producing the investigative Trends Podcast as a complement to the Trends Magazine, covering issues that impact marginalized communities. Lately, Rossana embarked on a new project: Elevating Local BIPOC Artists Radio Series. The project is a series of 30-min reports to highlight promising Front Range BIPOC artists, introducing these artists to the community. Each report will focus on a segment of the arts including musicians and singers, fine artists and photographers, culinary artists, theater actors and performance artists, writers and authors, graphic designers and multimedia artists. These artist reports will explore our shared humanity as well as the intersection of art and social justice issues to create greater representation and visibility. Please tune into Pasa La Voz, every Sunday at 4 pm. |
