There is no episode this week! I have spent the past few days attending the virtual Ontario Library Association conference, so I have not had time to put together a full episode. Fear not, I will be back next week with the story of a star-crossed pair of lovers who came together with the help of Teen People magazine!

Kerisha Harris is a corporate communications professional from Paterson, New Jersey. In the early 2000s, Kerisha was a member of Teen People magazine’s News Team, a corps of young journalists from across the US. She has since worked as a journalist, and is currently working on a Master’s degree in public relations and corporate communications from Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies. Teen People’s News Team gave young journalists some of their very first bylines, and prepared them for careers in media. "I have so much to be grateful for, about that experience," Kerisha told me. Kerisha spoke with me from her home in Connecticut, where she told me about her involvement with her high school newspaper, and how that led her to Teen People’s News Team, and beyond. Podcast Notes: Watch Kerisha and her dad on her sister's podcast! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-ZCWPsATTM Find me on Twitter and Instagram at teenpeoplepod, and on Tumblr at teenpeoplepod.tumblr.com.

Shouting from the rooftops: how Teen People magazine brought this couple together!

Gennie Gorback is an early childhood educator and President of the California Kindergarten Association. As a teenager, she joined Teen People magazine's Trendspotter club, and was featured not once, but twice, in Teen People! The first time, Gennie and her college friend Dan pranked Teen People—they weren’t actually a couple when they wrote a fake love note for publication in the magazine. As Gennie told me, she really just wanted to be in Teen People, the magazine that she read and enjoyed. They figured a cooked-up love story would do the trick. And it kind of did. Not only did they end up in Teen People...they fell in love. Today, Gennie and Dan Gorback are the parents of two little ones. Gennie spoke with me in the summer of 2021, and began by walking me through the cover of the April 2004 issue of Teen People—the first of two appearances Gennie and and her husband made in Teen People magazine. You can find the matching pictures Gennie shared with me on my Twitter and Instagram, [at] TeenPeoplePod. Notes: Gennie is very active on social media! Find her on Twitter [at] GennieGorback. She shares the picture books she and her daughters read each day on Instagram, [at] myfavoritebooksforkids. Her website is www.genniegorback.com. In Canada, February 20-26, 2022, is Freedom to Read Week! Find out more here: www.freedomtoread.ca.
