Episode 41.
An award-winning reporter at WBZ/CBS Boston, the first Muslim Miss Massachusetts (2022), volunteer for the Special Olympics, convert (or revert) to Islam from Catholicism and a Black American – Katrina holds a complex identity. She channels her complexity and desire to be authentic into her passion for community, diversity, and equality. Impressively, she does so with grace, humor, and commitment.
Highlights:
· Her religious journey – Catholic childhood, atheism, then Islam.
· Islam brought Katrina peace.
· Miss America Pageants – scholarship money, a platform for community service, and a sisterhood.
· Volunteering at the Special Olympics and ‘Embracing Diversity’ platform as Miss Massachusetts.
· Black Lives Matter protests prompted more interest in DEI training and employee diversity.
· Katrina wears a hijab as a news reporter sometimes, and reports on underrepresented communities.
