EMPOWERING LATINO COMMUNITIES
Hi, I’m Tamoa Calzadilla, an award-winning investigative journalist, mentor, and media leader with over 20 years of experience leading high-impact teams in Latin America and the U. S. in investigative journalism, fact-checking, and media literacy.
Based on my experience as a Venezuelan-American immigrant, my work focuses on informing, connecting, protecting, and empowering marginalised communities through journalism, education, and creating innovative, audience-centered news products that respond to real needs, particularly those of Latino and Spanish-speaking communities in the U.S.
I am also a Stanford University John S Knight Journalism Fellow 2025.
