Teran Powell

Race & Ethnicity Reporter

Teran Powell joined WUWM in the fall of 2017 as the station’s very first Eric Von Broadcast Fellow. She became WUWM's race and ethnicity reporter in 2018.

In 2022, Teran became the WUWM Von fellow mentor, a role where she helps guide journalists in daily newsroom operations, story planning and production process and through other areas of support fellows need to be successful journalists. All of this is with the primary goal of getting fellows prepared for a career in journalism.

Teran began her journalism career during her years as a student at Marquette University. She worked as a reporter for Marquette student media and the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service covering local events and community activists. She has also freelanced for the Shepherd Express and worked as a show editor for Fox 6 News.

A Chicago native, Teran’s passion for journalism lies within being up close and personal with people in the community and the happenings that affect them directly. With a genuine passion for storytelling, Teran’s goal is to tell the stories that need to be told.
