Kerra Bolton

Winner of the New York Times Award for Outstanding Journalism, Kerra Bolton has explored how communities navigate growth and change for 25 years. As a journalist, she captured the impact of U.S. immigration on small Mexican towns, a hospital in rural South Africa dealing with an AIDS crisis post-apartheid, and the rebuilding of a Honduran village after a hurricane ravaged the region. She also served on an investigative reporting team that uncovered systemic abuse in North Carolina's juvenile prisons. Kerra currently spends her time in the Mexican Caribbean, where she is learning to swim, dive, and map sunken slave ships.
