WHO ARE WE? 

LOIS

My needs are simple. I'm just a girl who just wants Heinz vegetarian baked beans for lunch and Beef Lasagna for dinner. I wear glittery yellow jelly sandals to my big girl job, and thought you should know.

When I was 18, I set off for college to become a journalist in New York City. Two bachelors degrees, five jobs, three apartments, and one crazy cat named Murphy later, I am doing just that.

HOW WE MET

Institute on Political Journalism graduation, Aug 2013

Lois and I were participating in the Institute on Political Journalism (Washington D.C). We were assigned as roommates in a suite for four. I was incredibly nervous as I entered the room; I'd had some terrible roommates in college. But she seemed nice enough.

After unpacking, we decided it was best to get supplies, so we boarded the train to Columbia Heights to Target. Along the way we realized how hungry we were, and just off the metro stop was an IHOP. I had strawberry pancakes; Lois had salmon. Needless to say, we've been friends ever since.
