Biography
Whit Sides is Arise’s Cover Alabama storyteller. A writer and journalist based in Birmingham, Whit spent more than a decade working in media and advertising before returning to college as a new mom. She earned a B.A. in mass communication from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Before joining Arise in 2020, she investigated stories involving the opioid epidemic, social justice and white supremacy as a reporter in both public radio and print. Whit’s family has strong roots in rural northwest Alabama, providing her with valuable perspective and strong motivation to seek out stories of inequity and injustice from every corner of the state. In partnership with the Cover Alabama Coalition, Whit spends her time as a storyteller highlighting the experiences of uninsured Alabamians and empowering people caught in the state’s health coverage gap.
