As you can guess, I was extremely nervous about interviewing a journalist as respected and accomplished as Astrid Martinez. But she immediately put me at ease with her down-to-earth personality and empathy, which I think are two of the qualities that make her a superlative journalist.  Astrid Martinez is an intensely insightful, 3x Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist, based in Atlanta Georgia, at CBS46. She is the creator and host of entertainment/culture segment “Astrid in the ATL” at CBS46. The segment explores film and TV industry, music, art, and race and culture. Astrid has also tackled topics ranging from immigration, homeland security, drug cartels, violence along the border and human trafficking. In our interview we talked about the current civil unrest and protests we are experiencing in America, fueled by a racist agenda in the Whitehouse. We also talked about how the stories we are hearing in the media have the power to shape our perceptions of each other.  Astrid goes on to say "I have great friends who are allies that say yes, forever we've told our own stores, let’s look at other beautiful stories and let’s tell them.” Growing up in Colombia, Astrid saw first-hand the civil and political unrest that plagued her country. It was this type of upheaval and the people's lives it affected that first ignited her passion for storytelling and a career in journalism.   After moving to the United States, Astrid graduated with top honors from Montclair State University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and a concentration in Latin American Studies.   Follow Astrid on Instagram here.
