Biography
I’m a passionate journalist focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), currently pursuing my graduate studies in audio reporting at UC Berkeley's School of Journalism. I hold a BA in Journalism from California State University-Sacramento, where I also minored in Communication Studies and Chicanx/Latinx Studies. As a DEI Editor and Reporter for The State Hornet, I created our first DEI style guide, conducted diversity audits, and produced award-winning social justice stories recognized by the Associated Collegiate Press. With certifications in social media marketing and Hootsuite, I leverage my communication and organizational skills to tell impactful stories that amplify underrepresented voices. I’m always eager to learn, collaborate, and adapt, believing that journalism is a powerful tool for social change.

By Jasmine Ascencio, Daniella Jimenez| Richmond Confidential@ Seuy Karnsouvong remembers going to the fire station by Crescent Park in Richmond with her late husband, Boonthong, to vote. Since she wasn’t familiar with English like he was, he would walk her through filling out her ballot. That was decades ago, but Karnsouvong still needs help dissecting the complicated language used in measures and other parts of the ballot. She isn’t alone in needing assistance with voting.
