In this episode, I sit down with Tonya Mosley, award-winning journalist, NPR's Fresh Air host, and the creative force behind podcasts She Has A Name and Truth Be Told. Tonya shares her journey from a young journalist at the Detroit Free Press to becoming one of the leading voices in public media.

We discuss her passion for storytelling, the importance of amplifying underrepresented voices, and the evolving challenges in journalism today. Tonya reflects on memorable career moments, the reps that shaped her craft, and how she stays true to her vision while navigating the demands of modern media.

Whether you're a storyteller, journalist, or simply curious about the power of narrative, this episode is filled with insights, inspiration, and a touch of humor. Tune in for a candid conversation about the art of connecting through stories.
