Josie Lafontant

Josie Lafontant is a freshman at UC Berkeley. Her interest in journalism comes from her insatiable curiosity and love of storytelling—a passion she hopes to develop as a double major in Media Studies and Sociology. She is particularly drawn to issues of intersectionality within social justice causes, stemming from her volunteer work with people with disabilities, those in the foster care system, and the mentally ill. When she isn’t writing, you can find her playing guitar, hiking, or falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes.
