The Changemakers

University of Denver Magazine

​

Candi CdeBaca didn't just get elected to the Denver City Council, she took the local political scene by storm. Her blatant rejection of capitalism drew nationwide criticism and glowing comparisons to New York Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. With her chief of staff Lisa Calderón by her side, CdeBaca says the Denver natives have no choice but to turn the status quo upside down.

OTHER STUFF
'Girls With Gadgets' Brings STEM
to Grade-School Students

DU Newsroom

​

Pink streamers fluttered down the corridors of the Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science, waving hello to 80 grade-school girls, each of them anxious for exposure to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Weldyn Allen was there to greet them: her voice gone, her smile immovable, her heart satisfied.

PODCAST
Next Generation Philanthropy

Voices of Experience podcast

​​

When people think of philanthropy, they often think of wealth—but it doesn’t have to be that way. Alan Frosh calls himself a “next-generation philanthropist,” and he’s spreading the word about how to make an impact on a smaller budget.

​

In a former life, I was lucky enough to tell stories on TV. I never got that comfortable with the face time or even hearing my own voice, but I loved the way images and video breathed life into a narrative. I enjoyed the challenge of marrying words and pictures: if I was going to say something, I needed a visual to go with it. And so I developed a reputation for creatively breathing life into otherwise boring, routine stories.

Who I Am

I'd much rather tell you about the centenarian who received a devastating ice storm for her milestone birthday. Or the hard-nosed bar owner brought to tears when a vandal stole a very special dollar bill. Or the MMA fighter and gym owner whose true love is the scrappy ladies of literature.

​

That's why I've made my living learning about other people — helping the world understand who they are and what matters to them.

 

Working in a newsroom, I was known for my versatility and creativity, willing to take the assignments nobody wanted (say the words "city council meeting" and suddenly everyone was looking at me...) and make them into something personal and memorable.

 

At the University of Denver and its Daniels College of Business, I'm proud to promote the institution's mission and brand through stories that make the complex understandable and the unfamiliar relatable.

I've always hated talking about myself.

I'm equally comfortable writing for print or broadcast, 2,000 words or 280 characters, behind the camera or in front of it. And I have experience covering everything from the NCAA Final Four to a local Open Carry Picnic, from disputes over the state budget to disputes over whether a salon was right to use shears on a guy's fake eyelashes. But no matter the subject, my storytelling follows two rules:

 

Don't be boring. Be different.
