Alma y Lucha: Soul and Struggle in Women Migrating from El Salvador

  • Alma Y Lucha on the radio!

    Hello friends,

    My first story for Alma Y Lucha: Soul and Struggle in Women Migrating from El Salvador, is airing this Friday-tomorrow! It will be on the local NPR station here in Washington, D.C. WAMU 88.5 FM, during a program called Metro Connection. This is a perfect place for it. MC is a news magazine program, playing a wide range of feature stories. It airs Fridays 1-2 p.m. EST and Saturdays 7-8 a.m. EST.

    So please tune in to hear what I hope will be the first of a series of stories about women immigrants from El Salvador. There will be a number of other great stories to listen to during the program as well. You can stream WAMU 88.5 FM on iTunes too!

    Or there's a podcast:

    I will also post a link to the story on the MC website after it airs.

    I plan on pitching this story to a number of other news outlets, so I'll keep you posted. Also I welcome any suggestions of good places to pitch this story.

    Be good to each other,

    Kate
