Give a big fat welcome to Celina De Leon, the latest addition to Feministing. Celina has been given the very fancy title of Interviews Editor. We like titles.
Celina is a 27-year-old social justice journalist from Hartford, CT. She has a Master's Degree in Human Rights from Columbia University, and a B.A. in print journalism from Northeastern University in Boston. She spent her college years and much of her 20s as the senior editor of Teen Voices Magazine, and is a contributing writer for AlterNet.org.
Every Saturday, Celina will post interviews with activists, artists, and all sorts of women doing amazing work.
Celina recently interviewed the fabulous OUT Alternative R&B artist Nedra Johnson before she left for her summer tour. Her lyrics are all about her loving being a butch woman of color and her feminist politics. Her voice is a cross between MeShell Ndegeocello, Jill Scott, and BB King. She's opened for Blues greats Bo Diddley and Johnnie Johnson. Her song, "AHA (It's a Good Thing)," appeared on the Showtime drama, "The L-Word" in March.
So make sure to come back tomorrow to check out Celina's interview with the very cool Nedra Johnson.

Celina has a lot to say..........and in a unique way........I'm sure she'll interview interesting people
That's an unfortunate name, but I suppose her parents couldn't have known about a certain overwrought Canadian songstress when they named her.
No way! I go to Northeastern!
That makes me feel special on my insides.
A very warm welcome Celina.
