1. It's my dream to write for the New York Times. I would like to write an investigative article about why people are so enthused about new ideas when they first come to mind but then get less and less excited about them as time goes on. I'd like to find out how people fan the flames of their new ideas even when they are no longer bright and shiny and new.
2. This is very sad and maybe too serious, but I would like to write an in-depth investigative article about why moms kill and harm their children. I'd like to interview the moms in prison who have been convicted of this type of crime. I would ask what brought them to that point, and is there anything they believe they could have done differently that may have changed the course of their lives. I would like to feature this story in the New York Times or on CNN.com.
3. I would like to write an article about the long-term effects of wearing heels. I would feature this article in Vogue, Marie Claire or Redbook.
4. I would like to write an investigative article about my own journey as a black woman who tried so desperately to fit in with the white crowd. This piece would be featured in the New York Times. (I'm actually working on this article right now!)
5. I would like to write an article about cutting ties with your company. Why is it so hard to leave your company after you've been working there for a long time? It's happening to me now, and I know it's happened to others too. This article would be featured in Forbes or INC magazine.
6. I really want to write an article about the struggles of parenthood, and I would like to find out why many women don't share just how difficult it is to be a mom. This article would be featured in Parents magazine.
7. Another article I would like to write for the New York Times is an investigative article about work gossip. How many people are involved in it? What do people gossip about? Do they gossip mostly during the work day or do they wait until after hours to talk about the rumors going around? And I'd like to know if it's mostly men or women who are doing the gossiping.
8. Another investigative article I would like to write is a behind the scenes look at the life of a celebrity. I would love to know if they enjoy cameras following them and taking photos of them out and about. I would also love to know if they ever use the media to their advantage and maybe go out more and be seen more when they know they have something to promote. This article would be featured in Vogue.
9. I would like to write an article about Rabia Chadry, the creator of the "Undisclosed" podcast. I'm so fascinated by this podcast and the case of The State v. Adnan Syed that I would love to do an in-depth article about Rabia. This article would be featured on CNN.com.
10. And finally, I would love to write an article about how much television we watch every day. I'm amazed at how many people (including myself) say we are so busy, but we spend hours and hours watching TV show after TV show. What's the purpose? And who is that actually benefitting? This article would be featured in my favorite publication, the New York Times.
