The Fuller Project’s CEO & Co-Founder Dr. Xanthe Scharff: Elevating Voices and Raising the Bar for Women in Global Journalism

Dr. Xanthe Scharff, or Madam X according to her childhood nickname, has made it her goal to “bring people together and make space” for those not always at the front of the conversation. She is the CEO and Co-Founder of The Fuller Project, a global newsroom dedicated to reporting on women and publishing with leading outlets. Xanthe has also been recognized by the Leadership Center for Excellence as a Top 40 under 40 visionary leader, been honored with a Genius Grant from the Helen Gurley Brown Trust, and is the founder of Advancing Girls Education (AGE) Africa.

This week, Xanthe sits with hosts Dee Martin and Carolyn Spector to discuss the importance of uplifting women’s voices in journalism and partnering with local women reporters around the world to cover global stories. They also discuss social media’s role in journalism and how the power of journalism can make an impact around the world.
