Carolina Murriel: Private Session (60 mins)
Session Details
About Carolina
Carolina Murriel is a journalist, educator, artist and storyteller in New Orleans. She teaches trauma-informed storytelling, works with the personal essay as a healing practice, and she's co-founder of Pizza Shark, an award-winning podcast studio working toward radical inclusivity in media.
Carolina began covering criminal justice through the lens of immigration, and developed an eye for stories about restorative justice and prison abolition within large carceral systems. That eventually led her to study clinical traumatology with the Trauma Research Foundation, and to advocate for intentional training for journalists covering trauma.
That informed her work leading Spotify’s inaugural Latinx Sound Up training program, teaching a Spanish-language graduate reporting class at CUNY’s Newmark School of Journalism, and consulting with the startup accelerator Propeller in New Orleans.
For the first 10 years of her career, Carolina worked as an editor and reporter in newspapers, public media, alt weeklies and digital media — locally in South Florida, then nationally and internationally in New England.
She was the first full-time female craft beer reporter in South Florida when breweries were just starting to pop up, serving thirsty throngs through intricate local zoning challenges. It was a food and bev, culture, business and city reporting beat all in one.
During the boom of Miami’s developer-led (read: gentrifying) arts district, Carolina began covering street art and brought that perspective to her Art Basel coverage.
Through it all, she covered immigration as a first-generation Peruvian immigrant herself. Caro was born and raised in Lima, Peru, and has bylines in English and Spanish across the US and internationally.
She grew up in Miami and settled in New Orleans for its marriage of Lima’s stormy colonial past and Miami’s tropical surrealness. She dreams of moving to a farm with a Scottish highland cow and everyone she loves.
