Danielle Moodie

she/her/hers

Political Podcaster, Cultural Commentator

For well over a decade, Danielle Moodie has been a bold and unapologetic voice for justice. Known for her no-holds-bard commentary, she is a sought after voice in the cable news and the social media spheres, ever since her viral 2016 election night CBC News appearance where she referred to the election of Donald Trump as “white supremacy’s last stand”.

As Danielle seeks to navigate our ever changing global landscape and imagine new worlds, her voice and message has begun to shift from righteous rage to expansionism and love. This new paradigm serves as forms of resistance and a broader platform to provoke new kinds of thinking. This is one of the many themes that she will be exploring in her forthcoming book, which is currently in development.

Over the last several years Danielle has increased her media footprint with three podcasts, reaching 500k listeners; her flagship series Heart Media’s #WokeAF Daily; The Daily Beast’s The New Abnormal that she co-hosts with fellow journalist Andy Levy and #democracyish which she co-hosts weekly with fellow Daily Beast columnist and author Wajahat Ali. She also writes for a myriad of outlets including: The Daily Beast, Zora at Medium, Vogue, Essence and others.
