Faces of NPR: Yolanda Sangweni : vimarsana.com

Where You're From: Durban, South Africa
Why did you choose to come to NPR? What was the pulling force?
I've always listened to NPR and my local NPR station is WNYC, and I was always aware of what NPR was and I really loved shows like
Code Switch and
Throughline. I listened to
Car Talk when I didn't even have a car. I used to listen to it on Saturdays while doing my chores. I felt a connection from NPR, so when I got word from an NPR recruiter, I was like, "GASP! Are you kidding?" I just never thought I would fit the criteria. So what drew me was like, "Wow, here is an interesting chance that I didn't see coming. Let me try it! I may feel a little uncomfortable but let me try it."
