Social impact storytelling for publications, nonprofits and brands.
Hello, I’m Ruth.
I'm an award-winning social impact writer.
My mission is to help readers better understand marginalized experiences and to highlight solutions to systemic problems.
I also bring an intersectional, global perspective to my work — one rooted in my Black Latina heritage and more than a decade spent living overseas.
You can find my byline in top outlets, such as Al Jazeera, National Geographic, The New York Times, The Washington Post and Time. I also write content for nonprofits, agencies and brands.
If you’re looking for an expert writer who can bring a social impact angle to your next project, let’s talk!
Here’s what I do.
JOURNALISM
Deeply reported essays, explainers, features, profiles, think pieces and solutions journalism.
NONPROFIT WRITING
Research-driven, story-led case statements, grants, impact reports and white papers.
CONTENT MARKETING
Brand journalism and thought leadership that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion.
