- Description:
- Goldie Taylor was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1968 before her family moved to Atlanta in the 1970s. She attended Emory University, where she began her writing career as a contributor to the school paper and to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. She has self-published three books, has written for the AJC, Creative Loafing, and currently serves as an editor of The Daily Beast. She has also contributed as a political pundit to MSNBC, CNN, and HLN.
In this interview, Taylor describes the impact of Buford Highway on her life, on the development of the highway and its diversity. She explains the social contract of Atlanta between the politicians and their constituents, and how that social contract has changed over the years. She discusses her own career as a writer and political pundit, and gives advice to aspiring writers and political leaders. - Metadata URL:
