Juleyka Lantigua-Williams

Juleyka Lantigua-Williams (COM’00) of North Bethesda, Md., has worked for The Atlantic and NPR and, in 2017, launched a podcast and film production company, Lantigua Williams & Co. (www.lantiguawilliams.com). “Our first short film project has already been accepted to several international film festivals, was short-listed for a BAFTA student award, and is a semifinalist for the Student Academy Awards,” Juleyka writes. “We have produced, launched, or consulted on multiple podcasts and received a MacArthur Foundation grant for an open-source podcast that looks at community-led criminal justice reforms throughout the country, called 70 Million. This mission-led work is founded on the journalistic skills I honed at COM.”
