Since there are about 50k more of you than there were two days ago, I thought I’d reintroduce myself.
Hi, I’m Emma. I’m a writer and editor for
@WSJFreeEx. I write about politics and culture, and make videos about economics (and more!)
I have a book about Gen Z and risk aversion, called “NO HARD FEELINGS,” coming out next summer with
@randomhouse.
You probably know me for my videos, but writing is where my heart is. If you like cultural criticism and want to know more about Gen Z culture from AI girlfriends to “former gifted kids” to Luigi Mangione, you’ll want to grab a copy.
A few fun facts:
1. I grew up in Alabama, and I attended a fine arts magnet school where I studied creative writing for 3 hours a day.
2. I went to
@UVA, where I met my amazing husband, joined a 200-year-old debating society, and broke the internet when I wrote a
@nytopinion essay about my experiences.
3. I LOVE to throw cocktail parties. I love coming up with new recipes, playing around with different flavors, and inviting dozens of people over to try my drinks. I was once even dubbed an “apex predator” of hosting.
4. I used to sew a LOT. I even made my own wedding dress.
Excited for what’s next! And stay tuned for book updates, more videos, and lots of cocktail pictures.
Can rent control fix the housing crisis? No. In fact, it could make things a whole lot worse.
