Laurel Chor

Laurel Chor is an Emmy-nominated journalist, photographer, filmmaker, and speaker. From her multifaceted skillsets as a reporter and storyteller to her internationally renowned photographs and films, Laurel has served as an inspiration to not only myself, but also to countless others across the globe. Her most recent works, both with Project Brazen, include a short film and podcast centered around the stories and experiences of the people of Ukraine. It was truly an honor and a privilege to speak to and learn from such a seasoned, veteran journalist like herself. Laurel and I touched on everything from her experience in the industry as a woman, coping mechanisms, the realities of war, Ukrainian hackers and misinformation, journalistic ethics and vulnerability, and hope for the future of humanity. Laurel has since traveled back to Ukraine and is currently there working on another exciting project. I hope you all enjoy our conversation as much as I did!
