Back in 2011 is when I really started my road in Journalism. I had already caught the photography bug long before, and was searching for a way to make it a career. While at Iowa State, I was a photojournalist for the Iowa State Daily. I continued that road when I got to Drake University, too, honing my skills as a staff writer and photographer with the Times-Delphic. While I was at Drake, I had the unique opportunity to intern with a couple of Poetry/Art-based organizations, including San Francisco-based online journal, The Rumpus. Though my time with them was brief, as the internship lasted the last half of a semester, I learned a lot and discovered a lot of non-mainstream artists.
I went onto become a radio host and assistant arts producer at Siouxland's KWIT-KOJI: Siouxland Public Media years later, with a goal to help artists (mainly, local and non-mainstream) get the attention they deserve. I created, produced, hosted, and managed social media for "The Triple Good Music Show", and artists loved hearing their music on the airwaves. I will always be a person who seeks truth, justice, and support for those who would otherwise be ignored and remain in the shadows of life. Just because they're a little too "different" or "out there". Read this: real change does not come from sticking to the past.. it happens when someone has the courage to reach farther than most are willing to, for the greater good of humankind and the planet. And that's been my mission since I began this road. I continue this journey as an observer, learner, thinker, and writer. https://www.linkedin.com/in/bertha-iniguez/
