Bringing you the day’s current events…in a calm way from a safe place.

With over 2M followers on TikTok and 12M weekly views, V’s minute-long news segment Under The Desk News, has become one of the most trusted sources of information across the entire platform. A gentle, matter-of-fact delivery and a mindful approach to tough subject matter leave their viewers - “…A generally intelligent, curious group of critical thinkers”, according to V - talking about the topics at hand in a way we don’t often see in today’s polarized norm.

Driven by their passion and expertise in food access and entrepreneurial coaching, V has formerly served as Executive Director of Everything Food Inc., Director of Women’s Programs for the James Beard Foundation, and is Creator of HarvestRX, a national effort to bring free, fresh produce to patients with chronic illness.

As a trusted and engaging communicator, V is the current curator and host of the LA Times TikTok. They have also teamed up with several other brands to help share their stories and positive impact. Recent collaborators include CBS, Perdue Farms, Pluto Pillow, Solgaard, Spiceology, Red Clay Hot Sauce and Merit America.

V’s podcast, What Happened, releases two new episodes each week on the Lemonada Network and is available for download on all major podcast platforms.
