Francesca Kate Fiorentini (born September 10, 1983)[1] is an American journalist, progressive political activist and comedian.[2]

Early life and education

Fiorentini is a second-generation American daughter of immigrants. Her mother is Chinese and her father is Italian. She grew up in Palo Alto, California, and graduated from Menlo-Atherton High School in 2001.[3][4]

From 2001 to 2005, Fiorentini studied feminist theory and colonial studies at New York University. Her baccalaureate thesis was entitled Ideas for Action: Postcolonial Feminism. [5]

Career

Fiorentini began her journalism work in 2004 with War Resisters League and Left Turn.[6]

From 2013 to 2019, Fiorentini was a host and senior producer at AJ+, the digital media outlet of Al Jazeera. She was the host of AJ+ show Newsbroke.[7] The channel presented comedic spins on current events, with a focus on outreach to younger audiences.[8] The program covered both current events, as well as larger issues such as white fragility,[9] labour unionism,[10] toxic masculinity, George Soros, and gun control. Newsbroke was shortlisted for an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Short-Form Variety Series in 2018.[11][12] The program was discontinued during June 2018.

Since 2016, Fiorentini has appeared on progressive network The Young Turks as a guest and contributor. She is one of the hosts of The Young Turks show The Damage Report hosted by John Iadarola.[13]

In December 2019, Fiorentini hosted the special Red, White & Who on MSNBC discussing the state of healthcare in the United States and the importance of healthcare to American voters beyond the partisan divide. The program travelled to the states of New York, Texas and Utah to talk to voters and featured interviews with political figures such as Senator Bernie Sanders.[14] Fiorentini concluded in the program that "healthcare in America is often overpriced and even dysfunctional, but it’s the lack of transparency that can be the most insidious".[15]
