Episode 53: Newscasting & Philanthropy with NBC10 News Anchor Joy Lim Nakrin

Quote(s): “I think the importance of doing activist work is precisely because it allows you to give back and to consider yourself not as a single individual who may have achieved whatever but to be a part of an ongoing historical movement.” —Angela Davis “The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river.” -Ross Perot About the episode: Garrett and Joy sit down in the Wellesley Public Library to discuss all of the things Joy balances day-to-day and Joy sheds light on what it’s really like to be a newscaster!
