ABOUT USHA SOOKAI
I\'m a storyteller who strives to understand, represent, and humanize communities. Growing up in NYC, diversity and disadvantage was everywhere. I channeled my passion for creating change into writing–creating stories, songs, social media posts and articles which help represent people\'s struggles and triumphs. To see and hear them, please visit https://writesbyusha.comI\'m an Emma Bowen alumna and I\'ve interned at the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the NY1 Assignment Desk, National Geographic, CNN, and Foreign Policy Magazine. Most recently, I completed an internship at NBCUniversal, working on their Unscripted Current Production team where I covered executive desks, worked with creatives on various shows, and pitched audience engagement initiatives. I\'m currently the Social Media Page at The New York Public Library.In 2025, I graduated with my M.A. student from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, where I pursued a Local Accountability concentration and a documentary specialization! I graduated from NYU with an Honors in Journalism and Summa Cum Laude in 2024. I am a creative thinker who thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments that put people first.
