Veteran journalist turns entrepreneur with Wind Newspaper

When a person has dedicated more than three decades of her life to serving her community through journalism, it’s hard to consider doing anything else.

  • 2020 is an unprecedented year for all of us, also for me. I lost my job as did many Americans in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. I was forced to leave the job that I enjoyed and dedicated to serving the community as a journalist for over 30 years.

    Founder and Publisher Portia Li
  • *Editor's Note: Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), a professional organization for all American journalists in the U.S. with 6000 members nationwide , publishes Quill Magazine quarterly.
