Shereen Marisol Meraji Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Shereen Marisol Meraji grew up in a Puerto Rican and Iranian home where no one spoke in hushed tones, and where the rhythms and cadences of life inspired her story pitches and storytelling style. As a young producer, Shereen found herself in the midst of a wave of demographic changes that she was poised to report on. Today, she’s an award-winning journalist and co-founder of the pre-eminent podcast about race and identity in America, NPR’s Code Switch: the only podcast about race that's talking about all of us: our histories, how we're represented, the ways we work together and against each other.

As a young producer, Shereen found herself in the midst of a wave of demographic changes that she was poised to report on. She understood the nuances of the Latinx community, which she was not only a part of, but studied in college. Today, she's an award-winning journalist and co-founder of the pre-eminent podcast about race and identity in America, NPR's Code Switch.
