She’s Hot Off The Press Ft. Adrianna Chaviva Freedman

This week, we spoke with Adrianna Chaviva Freedman, a very talented entertainment and culture journalist, a pop culture queen, and an old buddy from our college days. Since graduating, she’s working at Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, and Esquire - and totally rocking it. She told us about what exactly about journalism piqued her interest, and making her way into the media world. She gave us the inside scoop about what’s it’s like being on a fast-paced editorial team, and updated us about the latest celebrity gossip she’s been in the know about. Afterwards, she shares the secrets to building the perfect angle for a story, and weaving in your own voice to make it unique. She also touches upon how important integrity and trust are when it comes to interviewing celebrities. She tells about the coolest interviews she got to do, and the celebs she’s still dreaming of interviewing in the future. She reveals what it’s like working in media as a modern Orthodox Jewish woman, the challenges that come with it, and grappling with her identity from time to time. According to Chaviva, the way media works is that you can’t be judged, and that’s what she loves about it. We go on to talk about judgment in the Jewish community, and how we could feel comfortable with who we are regardless of judgment within the community. Chaviva then moves on to share how she dealt with post-college depression, and how she currently fights burnout at work and prioritizes things outside of her job. She finishes the episode with very wise words about the importance of living in the moment, and we’re officially feeling inspired. Naturally, she’s our Kosh Girl of the week, so stick around till the end to find out how you can slide in, gentlemen.
