Keli Skydiving for Cosmopolitan magazine
Keli has written about politics for The Washington Post, polo for The Daily Beast, skydiving for Cosmopolitan magazine, her vintage collection for Vogue, race for The Root, religion for Essence Magazine, feminism for The Guardian and her favorite teacher for The Houston Chronicle. She currently writes a column for The Hollywood Reporter, interviewing politicians about film, television, culture and politics, of course. Recent interviews include Ambassador Nikki Haley, Sen. Tammy Duckworth and Rep. Adam Schiff.
She has previously served as a contributor to various broadcast outlets, including hosting a series of presidential election specials for NPR affiliate WNYC, and appearing as a regular guest host for NPR affiliate KCRW’s “Left, Right & Center.” She also made hundreds of appearances on cable news. During her time on air, Keli realized she preferred a life behind the scenes (an evolution she wrote about for Vogue) and began exploring her passion for producing. In 2018 Reversing Roe, a documentary inspired by her coverage of reproductive policy, was released on Netflix. In 2019, Keli and the other producers of Reversing Roe, were nominated for two News and Documentary Emmy Awards for their work on the film.
