Meet Lauren Bohn! @laurenontheroad “Essentials on a reporting trip: Lavender spray and workout podcasts. And lots of notebooks. Most memorable experience: Because I usually work independently, it was really special getting to meet so many fantastic women journalists and seeing so many different perspectives. I have a startup called Foreign Policy Interrupted, which amplifies female voices in foreign policy (read: not just white men know about the world!), and this trip was a testament to why we need more women narrating the world for us. ”
