I’m Anya Zoledziowski, a Toronto-based staff reporter with VICE Canada. I’m a generalist, but a lot of my work focuses on social justice, Indigenous affairs, race, and gender. You can find all of my VICE work here. I’m also in the CBC, The Globe and Mail, Discourse Media, PostMedia, Indian Country Today, The Center For Public Integrity, the Toronto Star/StarMetro Calgary, and Megaphone Magazine, among others. I occasionally dabble in hip-hop journalism, which you can find in Noisey, Discorder Magazine, Exclaim! and FLOOD Magazine.

I earned a BA (Honors) in Political Science with a Polish Language minor from the University of Alberta, and I graduated top of my class with a Master of Journalism degree from the University of British Columbia. Shortly after graduation, I jet-set off to Phoenix, where I participated as a fellow for News21, a Carnegie-Knight and Walter Cronkite School national investigative project. For seven months, I investigated hate crimes targeting Indigenous women in Montana and North Dakota alongside a team of multimedia journalists. Find the finished product here. The News21 team won several awards for the investigative work, including an Edward R. Murrow award and a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism award in Human Rights. The feature I co-wrote also won a Native American Journalists Association (NAJA) award in feature writing.

Like every millennial, I live online and emphasize my vocal fry. Say hi, drop a line or follow me on Twitter.
