JOURNALIST / WRITER / CREATIVE

SARAH MULU.

I tell the stories of people, cultures and communities too often pushed to the margins.

I’m a writer and reporter at my core and a creative in every sense of the word. My journalism moves between the playful and the urgent — from the stranger, funkier corners of music, fashion and culture to social, political and economic issues that demand deeper attention.

STORIES IN MULTIPLE FORMS.

Still from Is God Is showing the twin characters

THE MEDIUM CHANGES.
THE STORY DOESN’T.

I work across writing, audio, video, photography and digital design, but storytelling is always at the center. I’m drawn to work that can be playful, strange and culturally specific — and to reporting that confronts the social, political and economic forces shaping people’s lives.

Above all, I am a writer and reporter.
