Around 2016 I started paying attention to Teen Vogue. All of a sudden it was publishing substantive articles not typically reserved for women’s magazines and definitely not teen mags. It is clear to me that I need to keep reading this teen magazine… even at the ripe age of 39.
Incidentally, a neighbor of mine, Danielle Kwateng-Clark (aka Dani) was recently brought on as the Culture and Entertainment Director at Teen Vogue. Her passion is in telling the stories of women of color in the arts, fashion, and pop-culture. While she was still at Vice, I asked her if she was interested in speaking to me about her career in journalism. I thought she could provide sage guidance for readers with similar career goals. She said yes and then literally like two weeks later she announced her move to Teen Vogue.
