Lottie Joiner

I am the editor-in-chief of Capital & Main. Previously, I served as senior editor of The Crisis magazine, the official publication of the NAACP. The quarterly journal focuses on minority social and political issues, civil rights, art and culture. I help manage the magazine's special projects including our in-depth look on the State of African American Health. As a graduate student in American University's Interactive Journalism program, I wrote a project on the impact of food deserts on minority health. I also write freelance articles on health issues for a number of media outlets including Heart & Soul magazine, a health and fitness publication for women of color. Most recently I wrote a piece for The Washington Post on African Americans and Kidney Disease.
