great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Finding it hard to articulate how much Teen Vogue as we know it did for my writing and reporting and career, but also my understanding of the world as a reader. There's a really solid chance that without that team, some random then-20-something from Kentucky wouldn't even be in this field.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
