Bio — Ebony Joseph

Hi there! My name is Ebony, and I’m an award-winning multimedia producer.

Born to Haitian parents in South Florida, my diverse upbringing sparked a love of connecting with people and sharing their stories. That passion led me to the University of Florida, where I studied broadcast journalism and interned at NPR and BBC America.

After graduating, I traded in my Florida oranges for a chance to take a bite of the Big Apple. Starting as an overnight production assistant at ABC News, I climbed the ranks to shoot, write, and edit segments for millions of viewers across the country each day, with stops at NBC News, CBS News, and PBS NewsHour. I led the production process from pitch to air on topics ranging from celebrity profiles, Supreme Court showdowns, motorcycle-riding moms, female wrestlers, and wrongly imprisoned exonerees.

In 2019, I decided to step out of my edit bay and into the world I helped major networks report on. I moved nearly 7,000 miles across the ocean to South Korea, where I taught English to North Korean refugees and indulged in way too many Korean pancakes.

That transformative experience allowed me to immerse myself in a completely new culture and even try my hand at international reporting.

As a Professional Wearer of Many Hats, I’ve used my freelance career to move into editorial and audience strategy, with a focus on newsletters and social video.

When I’m not giving out Korean skincare tips or asking strangers to let me research their astrological charts, you can find me at a museum or catching up on the latest reality TV drama.
