Kree Anderson: All About Writing

Writing is a Gift. Writing is in Everything We Do.

Kree’s Story

Kree Anderson’s work centers around people-oriented writing. It all began in second grade when creativity sparked, and she wrote her first sci-fi-based short story. Her creativity and passion for writing have continued to develop over time, adjoining with her love for storytelling and publicizing the diverse, valuable voices of everyday individuals. Even at a young age, she understood the immense power within the written word and all its forms.

She gradually learned about and became more efficient in numerous writing genres including opinion and analytical pieces, research papers, news stories, essays, expository writing, and scriptwriting. In September of 2019, she attended Chapelgate Christian Academy for high school and graduated in June of 2023. Her career interests morphed into her decision to study journalism at Howard University. She began her undergraduate journey in August of 2023 and is expected to graduate in May of 2027. She plans on obtaining her master’s degree in the spring of 2029.

Over the years, Kree has been involved in multiple community service projects, which have only further fueled her drive to be the voice of the people or provide individuals (especially those from disadvantaged black and brown communities) with the platforms to speak their truth. While understanding the importance of all levels of news, she resonates with voices and/or events from local communities the most, as they’re often the richest and most overlooked in comparison to state and national affairs. After completing her study abroad experience in Kenya during the spring semester of 2025, she has recognized the need for African communities to be empowered, given the socio-economic and cultural states colonialism left the continent in, especially in the midst of neo-colonialism.

Regarding her sociopolitical ideology, she aligns herself with independent, left-leaning values. Her political viewpoints have been shaped by her parents’ political discourse, conversations with friends and other family members, liberal news channels and media, and her studies. Her sociopolitical identity is a characteristic of herself that she’s always held dear, believing that politics is at the center of every civil, socio-economic, and government system ever created. These ideas shine through her readiness to cover any political event or phenomenon that has occurred. While tending to stay neutral to the best of her ability with every story she reports on, she is also very intentional in ensuring that the necessary historically underrepresented voices are made known. She leans towards reporting on incidents that involve an oppressed group and their persecutors. Authenticity, along with exposing and ridding corruption, is of utmost importance to her journalistic storytelling.

It all begins and ends with writing. Her ultimate goal is to enact and sustain a positive impact in various communities by using the gift she loves most.
