The Blade Foundation this week announced the recipients of its 2023 summer fellowship program. Isabelle Kravis (she/they) is a senior at American University studying journalism and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies.
She will focus on covering LGBTQ issues in the local D.C. area for 12 weeks starting this week. The fellowship is made possible by a generous donation from the DC Front Runners Pride Run 5K event. “I’ve been reading the Blade since I first moved to D.C.
for my freshman year and I’m so excited to be able to contribute to such a historic paper,” Kravis said. “I love covering the LGBTQ community because of the diversity of experiences that each queer person has and the joy that queer people bring to everything they do.
I’m incredibly lucky to have this opportunity to be able to cover both the city and community that I love.” Joel Lev-Tov (they/them) is a senior at the University of Maryland College Park studying journalism.
