Bio
Harriet A. Washington
Katie's vision and drive has propelled the OpEd Project beyond the success we all wished for when she undertook her mission to literally change the predominately-male face of American media "thought leaders." It is characteristic of Katie that where others saw a reason for complaints, she has created greater equity. What's more, it is rare to see such determination and effectiveness married to the warmth and empathy that Katie radiates.

The OpEd Project is a social venture founded to change who writes history. We are a community of thinkers, journalists, change agents and ordinary people who actively share our knowledge, resources and connections across people of all identities and positions. We run programs of all sizes and shapes across the nation and the globe, designed to accelerate the ideas and impact of new and underrepresented thinkers of all kinds, including women of all backgrounds. We believe in a world where the best ideas, regardless of where they come from, have a chance to be heard and shape society. We believe the world becomes more intelligent when it is more inclusive. We believe the story we tell becomes the world we live in. For more information go to www.theopedproject.org
