I am a pop culture reporter for the Miami Herald, one of the most award-winning daily newspapers in U.S. history. I also blog about culture, lifestyles, politics, and race at MiamiHerald.com.

I have been a journalist for more than 10 years, and my work has appeared in dozens of major newspapers and magazines in the U.S. and Canada, including the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post, the Toronto Star, U.S. News & World Report, O: The Oprah Magazine, and Life & Style.
